Ulster County's creek corridors and old farm edges grow some of the toughest vegetation we graze. Saugerties properties typically carry:
Japanese Knotweed
Notorious along the Esopus and Hudson corridors. Season-long grazing knocks it back hard
Multiflora Rose
Old pasture in Saugerties disappears under it. Goats eat straight through the thorns
Wild Grape & Bittersweet
Vine tangles that pull down field-edge trees. Goats clear everything within reach
Poison Ivy
Thrives on stone walls and field edges. A goat favorite, and they are immune
Also on the menu: honeysuckle, phragmites, barberry, wineberry, and mile-a-minute vine. Full list on the services page.

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.

If your Saugerties 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.
