Dreamgoats was started by Leah Sienkowski in 2016 with three goats but no barn or land to her name. The herd was carted from overgrown backyards to friends' farms in the backseat of Leah's Honda Civic. Dreamgoats was an experiment in embodied living and an antidote to disconnection: from food, from nature, and from community.

The farm has long since grown from a personal dream into a group project situated on forty acres of lush orchard and prairie at Idlewild Farm. 

Avery Lewis joined the team in 2025, a partner in herd management, volunteer coordination, and agritourism. Alongside thirty-some volunteer farmers, we care for the herd, make soap, and open the farm up to the community for goat cuddles, hikes, and classes. We’re a mismatched crew united by a hunger for regular and meaningful connection with each other, our animals, and with the land.
