A new season of life

For over twenty years, Craig shepherded our herd of goats through urban communities to manage overgrown or invasive vegetation. On the road for four to six months a year meant little time to enjoy our own place in the country together.

Now the Healing Hooves herd is inviting campers to visit them at the ranch and enjoy the wide open spaces and dark night skies of eastern Washington.

Tonight is a full moon, sometimes considered a harbinger of good luck and good fortune, a great day to launch our newest enterprise. We tried it out a a pilot project in 2025 and had about a dozen guests traveling with Harvest Hosts. This year we’re hoping to double that number with additional opportunities through the Hip Camp network.

The internet is unsure who said it first, but I agree with the sentiment: "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."  And so I spent most of April Fools Day sending out media releases, social media posts and emails getting the word out about our new website for this new season of life.  

Hope to see you on the ranch this summer!
