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.
