Cuddle with Kunekune Pigs
***Follow @halbertfarm on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitch for updates and to meet the pigs before your visit***
This experience is for 18+ only. Message us if you want to book a kids experience.
We will start the experience in the backyard where you will meet Ripley the house pig. You'll learn about the history of Kunekune pigs and what makes them so unique. If we have younger pigs that are living in the backyard you'll get to meet them then too. I'll have treats prepared for you to feed the pigs and you'll learn how to make them sit and get their treats. Then I'll take you to meet the adult pigs first the girls and then the boys. We have 20 pigs that make up "Halbert Herd" and their ages range from 4 months to 9 years. You'll get to feed the adults treats and they love getting attention and being petted. Most of them will lay down and want their belly rubbed. If we have piglets you'll get to spend time in the piglet pen, depending on their age, you may be able to feed them treats and when they get to be about 3 weeks old they will crawl on your lap.
Other things to note
Make sure to wear closed toes shoes, pigs like to chew on toes. Rain, hiking, mud boots are great options. You will get dirty and we will be outside. Pay attention to the weather and dress accordingly. Long pants work better even when its hot because we may walk in tall grass in the pastures.

Random Acts of Kindness Spree
We will convene at rotating eclectic, unique, and beautiful locations in and around Austin for a meet-and-greet and "pow-wow" to present the assignment. We will then explore the area on foot, committing alternating random acts of kindness and social experiments from a list that's provided. Guests will conduct a series of specific acts but with plenty of their own judgment and imaginations engaged too. These acts will involve sightseeing like a local in a vibrant pocket of Austin while learning how others tick and truly making an unsuspecting soul's day over and over.
For social experiments, guests may be asked to step into an elevator without turning around to face the front and then to note the reactions of the public. For random acts, they may be finding someone who needs a hand/compliment, paying a cup of coffee forward, etc. In the end, guests won't be able to help but grin from ear to ear after having witnessed, participated in, and created a multitude of special moments invoking insights about the human psyche, deep gratitude, and "warm fuzzies." We celebrate at an enchanting café, sharing stories and enjoying the afterglow.
Other things to note
We accommodate everyone. This activity is family and dog friendly. Enjoy a discount on our other experiences in Texas cities after you have completed this experience. Questions welcomed!
Creativity Workshop in Nature
We will meet by the scenic and serene Bull Creek in NW Austin. We will briefly share our backgrounds and creativity goals. We will engage in a taste of the ritual of writing "morning pages." We will hike to different gorgeous spots, discuss book passages, and complete oral and written tasks to give voice to our inner artists as they begin to shift and grow. While of course there is no way that an hour's visit can take the place of a 12-week course of The Artists Way by Julia Cameron, we will hit the highlights of the series with plenty of productive, beneficial, and enlightening work that will absolutely propel each of us forward down a new creative path of self-discovery. Before departing, we will each have a plan of action for living in creative technicolor and transforming our dreams into realities. Our plans will include our next 3 "artist dates," where we treat ourselves to an outing that nurtures our creativity. We will make genuine, affirming statements to one another and will support the figurative spreading of the wings of each guest. We'll have an opportunity to stay in touch in a dedicated Facebook group for encouraging/celebrating one another on our creative journey!

Participants get 20% off future experiences on Airbnb: our scavenger hunts (in Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, & Corpus Christi), a picnic, styling, & a random acts of kindness spree!

It is my complete joy to facilitate these classes, providing a space to contemplate, process and grow. I look forward to meeting you! -Samantha

When you arrive, we will take a couple of minutes to introduce ourselves and our animals. We will then jump right in to it and introduce you to our cute baby goats. You can pet, hold, or cuddle them as you wish and feed them treats. While you play, we will tell you a bit about each one of them, and their personalities (yes, each goat has a different personality, and likes and dislikes).
We will let you spend some time with our goats and be available to answer questions or share knowledge.
Be ready to meet some tiny goats! Our goats are all very friendly and clean.
