Lyman Orchards Apple Barrel Farm Market

<h4>**UPDATE: Lyman's Goat Cuddle Brigade has been canceled due to the severe storm damage sustained at Bradley Mountain Farm.</h4>
Sunday, July 5th 10 AM - 1 PM
We’re excited to return to Lyman Orchards this weekend with our Goat Cuddle Brigade. Guests can enjoy 15‑minute cuddle sessions for $10 per person, meeting the goats right at the orchard and experiencing a charming colonial‑themed visit with the herd. It’s a wonderful way to spend the day—enjoying the orchard, snapping photos, and sharing a fun, memorable moment with our goats.
Minors cannot make reservations to handle a goat alone, but can be added as an additional helper to assist an adult handler on the goat walk. There must be at least 1 adult person who will be the handler for each goat.
$10 per person

How the Evening Unfolds Start with a Social Mixer:&nbsp;Kick things off with a relaxed mingle. Grab your cider donut and apple cider pint, settle in, and get comfortable before the rounds begin.&nbsp; Easy, Guided Conversations: We keep things flowing so you don't have to overthink it. Each round includes a fun icebreaker, and our host guides the room so everything feels smooth, upbeat, and never awkward.&nbsp; Quick, Real Connections: You'll spend a few minutes with each person, just enough time to catch a vibe before rotating. It's light, fun, and way more natural than sitting through a full date.&nbsp; Match the Ones You're Into: After each round, simply mark "friend," "date," or "none" on our easy matching system. If it's mutual, we'll send you each other's info the next day.&nbsp;A Few Things to Know<img src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tb5/2/16/23f0.png" alt="⏰"> Arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and get settled. We start on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.<img src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tdb/2/16/1f4a1.png" alt="💡"> This is meant to be fun! The best way to enjoy it is to stay open, be present, and focus on meeting new people. Some people leave with a match, others leave with new connections – either way, it's a great night. Spots are limited to keep the experience smooth and the ratios balanced. Once we’re full, we’re full.

The Red Barn in Durham

We begin with a slow, gentle yoga flow led by George — a licensed mental health therapist and yoga instructor whose approach to movement is as much about the mind as it is the body. George's work is rooted in the belief that real healing means becoming present — releasing the thought patterns, labels, and cycles that keep us stuck — and that yoga is one of the most powerful pathways there. Expect a flow that is accessible to all levels, deeply nourishing, and infused with the kind of presence that makes you feel genuinely held.
From there we move into a live sound bath — Lauren will guide you into deeper relaxation using singing bowls and other healing instruments, allowing the vibrations to wash over your body and nervous system and integrate everything that moved through during the flow.
We close with a small ceremonial cacao circle — warming, heart opening, and the perfect way to seal an evening of intentional rest together.
What to expect:
<ul><li>🧘 Slow, accessible yoga flow for all levels</li><li>🔔 Live sound bath with singing bowls &amp; more</li><li>🍫 Closing ceremonial cacao circle</li><li>💜 A warm, cozy, intimate evening space</li></ul>
No yoga experience necessary. All bodies and all levels warmly welcome.Bring a yoga mat, a cozy layer, and anything that helps you feel at home.
