Fredericton: Llama Hike & Pizza Picnic at Dancing Goat Farm

Summary

Walk with llamas eat fresh pizza and unwind on a Fredericton farm

You’ll start by meeting friendly barnyard animals before heading out for a gentle llama hike through Fredericton’s peaceful pastures. After walking alongside your llama and some curious goats, settle down for a wood-fired pizza picnic right in their field. It’s calm, unscripted, and leaves you with more than just photos—maybe even a bit lighter inside.

What’s the experience like?

We were already laughing before we even left the barn — I’d never been sized up by so many chickens at once. Our host, Sarah, handed me a little tin of feed and told me to “watch my toes,” which I thought was a joke until a duck actually tried to nibble my boot. The air smelled like hay and woodsmoke, and there was this low hum from the geese arguing with each other somewhere behind us. It’s hard not to feel like you’ve stepped sideways out of regular time at Dancing Goat Therapy Farm in Fredericton.

The llamas (mine was named Pablo — gentle eyes, very judgy) waited quietly while we learned how to hold their leads. The walk itself wasn’t rushed; Sarah let us set the pace through the pastures and along the edge of a little river. At one point, I stopped just because the light through the trees felt good on my face — nobody hurried me. There were goats too, weaving around our legs or stopping to munch on whatever they could reach. I didn’t expect how calming it would be to just walk with these animals. Maybe it’s something about their steady breathing or the way they look at you like they know secrets you don’t.

Lunch came after — not in some fancy dining room but right out in the pasture, with llamas wandering nearby like slightly aloof picnic guests. We got to make our own pizzas (I tried tossing the dough and almost lost it to the wind; Sarah laughed but saved it). The smell from that wood-fired oven is still stuck in my head. My hands were dusty from flour and grass, but honestly, food tastes better when you’ve earned it outside. Pablo eyed my cheese pizza but behaved himself — apparently these llamas have better manners than most people I know.

I keep thinking about that slow hour under open sky, just eating pizza with new friends (human and otherwise). If you’re looking for something different near Fredericton — a real pause button — this llama hike & lunch is it.
