About Us
Pactamere Farm, in Rockville, Virginia, located just 10 minutes from Short Pump, boasts 16 acres of serene pasture and offers a delightful array of family-friendly events, classes, and workshops that showcase the transformative power of our beloved animals.
Beyond the playful bounds of goat yoga and the endearing charm of cow cuddles, our farm highlights the profound therapeutic potential of these incredible creatures.
Our mission is to shift societal perceptions, moving away from viewing the animals solely as livestock, and instead embracing their roles as catalysts for cognitive stimulation, heightened presence, and pure, unadulterated joy – creating the perfect setting for truly meaningful therapy interactions.
Whether it's through the exhilarating experience of Goat Yoga, where participants find themselves immersed in a unique blend of mindfulness and the playful antics of the farm's agile, four-legged residents, or the serene tranquility of a paint night with the goats as artistic muses, at Pactamere Farm, we provide endless opportunities for visitors to connect with nature and discover the healing power that emanates from these special animals.
And for those seeking a more intimate encounter, the farm's beloved mini calf, Annie, welcomes one-on-one cuddle sessions, inviting guests to bask in the calming presence and unconditional affection of this gentle, hoofed companion.
At Pactamere Farm, the mission is clear – to share the profound joy and restorative benefits of being in harmony with the natural world, one heartwarming animal interaction at a time.
