A small farm with a lot of personality

Breathe deep, Smile big, Stay awhile

Goats on the Bayou sits along Chocolate Bayou in Alvin, Texas. Our animal family includes goats, a cow, livestock guardian dogs, friendly geese, turkeys, chickens, barn cats and even a turtle. It is a place to slow down, laugh with the animals and enjoy a side of farm life that feels far from the city—even though Houston is close by.

Straight answers

Questions guests actually ask

What is the complimentary Barnyard Social?

It is relaxed time with the farm animals during your overnight stay. A staff member joins you, makes introductions and answers your questions.

Can I bring my pet?

No. Pets are not allowed under any circumstances because this is a working farm with resident animals.

Can I visit without staying overnight?

Yes. Premier Goat Yoga and Barnyard Social tickets for day visitors are sold separately through Hytix.

What will I hear at the farm?

Chickens rise early, goats make themselves known, and a nearby train passes at times. Farm life is part of the experience.
