What the Goats Will Find in New Rochelle

Lower Westchester parkland and wooded lots carry a heavy invasive load. In New Rochelle the goats go to work on:

Porcelain Berry

Blankets parkland edges and fence lines. Goats graze the vines back hard

Oriental Bittersweet

The dominant tree-strangler in Westchester woodlands. Goats strip everything they can reach

Japanese Knotweed

Repeated grazing over a season exhausts the root reserves

Poison Ivy

Endemic on every unmanaged Westchester lot. Goats eat it happily and safely

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

Getting the Herd to New Rochelle

New Rochelle is one of our southernmost regular stops, about an hour and three quarters from our New Hartford, CT base. 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 New Rochelle 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.
