What the Goats Will Find in Chappaqua

Chappaqua's wooded lots and campus-style properties grow the standard Westchester invasive lineup:

Oriental Bittersweet

Strangles specimen trees on older properties. Goats strip vines and foliage within reach

Japanese Barberry

Understory thickets that harbor ticks. Goats defoliate them repeatedly until they give up

Wineberry & Multiflora Rose

Bramble walls at every wood line. Thorns are not a problem for goats

Poison Ivy

Everywhere in northern Westchester. Goats eat it preferentially and are immune to urushiol

Also on the menu: honeysuckle, phragmites, barberry, wineberry, and mile-a-minute vine. Full list on the services page.

Getting the Herd to Chappaqua

Chappaqua runs about an hour and 35 minutes each way from our New Hartford, CT base, a routine trip for the herd trailer. We serve the Hudson Valley, Catskills, western Connecticut, and the Berkshires from our farm, and the quote always includes transport, temporary electric fencing, water, and daily herd care. You never pay those as surprise line items.

If your Chappaqua project involves heavy woody material or acreage past what a season of grazing can handle, our sister company Hudson Valley Forestry runs the mulchers, and many projects combine both: machine first, goats for maintenance. Municipal or commercial-scale programs run through DeployGoats.
