This holiday season, families and groups across the country are adopting gift-giving themes. From junk-free gifting to gifts that give back, many are searching for unique gifts at affordable prices. If you are currently scouring holiday gift guides and struggling to come up with new gift ideas, may we make a suggestion?
These female Nigerian Dwarf goats were donated to Green Chimneys at just eight months old and quickly became farm favorites. The Nigerian Dwarf is one of the smaller goat breeds and is traditionally bred to be a show and companion animal. This makes Pumpkin and Patch, with their calico coats, eye-catching walking partners for smaller students. Pumpkin and Patch have a mischievous streak and are known to be the farm’s best escape artists. Fortunately, if they do get out, we know we can always find them by the peacock food!
At this price point, sponsoring a goat may be a more affordable gift for a teacher, bus driver, extended family, or the ultimate animal lover in your life.

Pumpkin and Patch are among 300 animals that live at Green Chimneys and help children with special needs build relationships and skills. For 75 years, Green Chimneys has incorporated animals and nature into school curricula, clinical services, and recreation. In sponsoring Pumpkin and Patch, you are supporting the care, veterinary, and food expenses for all of the goats, sheep, horses, llamas, pigs, and permanently injured wildlife at Green Chimneys.
On behalf of Green Chimneys children and animals, thank you for your support!
With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
