The Dancing Goat - Tampa, Florida

Nicoliné P.

I’ve been visiting Dancing Goat Farm regularly since I first arrived in Florida in 2020, making the drive every 6-8 weeks, often traveling nearly one hours each way just to get their fresh goat milk and eggs. It’s absolutely worth the journey every time!

Pam, the heart and soul of the farm, is one of the most extraordinary, caring, and unique people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. As a global traveler, I’ve encountered many people from different walks of life, but Pam truly stands out. Her warmth and kindness are unmatched, and she always makes me feel like family when I visit. What really sets her apart is her incredible sense of humor – it’s rare to meet someone who combines genuine care for others with such a lighthearted and fun personality. She’s not just friendly, though – Pam is also incredibly knowledgeable, and every conversation with her is both enriching and insightful.

The Dancing Goat Farm itself is an absolute gem. It’s a wonderful place, especially for children, to experience firsthand where their food comes from. The farm offers an invaluable opportunity to connect with nature and learn about sustainable farming practices. I highly recommend Dancing Goat Farm to anyone looking for fresh, quality products and a meaningful, enriching experience.

Visiting is always something I look forward to, and I can’t wait for my next trip!

Dancing Goat Farm is more than just a farm—it’s a labor of love, passion, and dedication to quality. Pam, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and deeply committed to not only running the farm but also advocating for better milk standards with the Department of Agriculture. Her dedication goes far beyond just producing amazing dairy products; she is constantly working to improve industry standards and educate others.

As a retailer of Dancing Goat Farm’s products, I’ve seen firsthand how beneficial they are. Their quail eggs, chicken eggs, raw goat milk, cheese, and handmade soaps are all top-notch, and I can personally vouch for their effectiveness—especially in helping pets with seasonal allergies. My customers love these products just as much as I do!

Every product from Dancing Goat Farm is crafted with care, and you can truly taste and feel the difference. If you’re looking for ethically produced, high-quality goat milk products from a farm that genuinely cares about both its animals and its customers, this is the place to support. We love everything Pam and her little farm do!

We've been regular customers at The Dancing Goat Farm for years, and over time, Pam has become a friend of ours. We primarily visit for fresh eggs, honey and goat milk, which are absolutely amazing in flavor. Pam also offers a wide variety of other products like cow milk, soap bars, kefir, and more.

The goat milk and eggs, including chicken, duck, and quail eggs, are always top-notch. They truly taste like no other! Pam is not only a fantastic farmer but also incredibly knowledgeable. She always takes the time to answer any questions we have about how she raises her animals and produces such high-quality, natural products, especially when we first visited her farm.

What we appreciate most is Pam's transparency. If she ever runs low on milk or eggs, she'll let us know and explain what happened. It's clear that she and her family put a lot of hard work into running the farm, and we feel so lucky to support a business that values quality, care, and integrity.

Pam and her family are truly WONDERFUL, and we can't thank them enough for all they do. I have been recommending my friends, family and clients to her and again Highly recommend The Dancing Goat Farm to anyone looking for fresh, natural, and delicious farm products!

Went here for the first time and was really excited. Unfortunately the owner was pretty rude to me. I completely understand there’s an egg shortage but I was looking to get farm fresh eggs for health reasons. I stated I’d never been there before but she proceeded to be rude and tell me the eggs are for her “loyal customers” only. Ok, no problem this is how you don’t gain new loyal customers. Gave 1 star because I was able to buy the goat cheese. Do yourself a favor and support a different local farm.

The dancing goat is reliable and safe source of many things—my favorite being the goat milk and yogurt, though it is fun to try a duck egg now and then. Pam is a great lady and fun to chat with.

There are often roosters in the coops as we walk up, and my baby boy loves sticking out his chest and cock-a-doodling with them. The cats everywhere were saved and given a safe place to live their lives. My favorite is to pet the kitties.

I can't believe Pam and her family/team pulled this off in what is now the middle of the suburbs.

I see that Pam is begging for volunteers on Facebook again. I left a short suggestion that the volunteers be treated better. My comment was deleted, and I was banned from the page so I'll post here what I should have shared a long time ago ...

This place is terrible. My daughter volunteered here briefly. She was very bothered by the treatment of the animals. I was very bothered by the treatment of the volunteers. Pam is not looking for volunteers like normal places. She's looking for kids to do things that grown adults in the workplace don't have to do. The messages Pam posted in the volunteer group were so rude and condescending. She used the volunteer hour signature as leverage to mandate that these poor volunteers continue in those conditions. Well my kid didn't need a volunteer letter so she stopped attending. The last straw was when we were headed out of town and couldn't find coverage despite asking for many weeks. Pam really thought my 14 year old should be required to find her own coverage when NOBODY wanted to pick up an extra shift. When asked for help, rather than Pam reaching out, she just said to keep sending fb messages or tagging them on fb. That was not a solution, and my kid was getting more and more worried about not being able to find coverage. That should not have been her responsibility as a volunteer!

Additionally, they were only supposed to be volunteering until 9pm but it was often later. When I reached out after my kid didn't finish until 1045pm, Pam basically said she watches the cameras and the kids need to be more efficient. She detailed exactly what they should be doing differently. Uhh, why did she not tell them this during the shifts that were running over? Because there was no actual supervision, no direction whatsoever. Watching cameras after the fact is not the same as coaching and encouraging the kids, and there was none of that in real time. Nothing was a small even said until I reached out about her being there so late! The kids trained each other and apparently were expected to provide correction to each other. She even told me that a new volunteer on my daughter's night would have to be "pushed a bit." No way should kids volunteering have that level of responsibility. My daughter had been volunteering on a farm and at an aquarium / animal Sanctuary for many years and never experienced the problems she had at this place.

Until Pam focuses on treating volunteers better, I suggest you do NOT volunteer here or let your teen volunteer here. There are way better places to get Bright Futures hours!

Edited to add: I am not miffed about Pam not wanting my teen to walk through the neighborhood. I was totally fine with that and respected her concerns by directing her to wait on property until I picked her up. And it's interesting that several former volunteers have reached out and shared similar concerns so I'm not sure where the 99% comes from. Also, her being 14 had NOTHING to do with the way Pam treated the animals and volunteers. She's 16 now, and I would still have the exact same concerns if she volunteered there again. She started volunteering on a horse farm when she was 11.5 years old. She's a hard worker. That horse farm continues to sing her praises to this day as she approaches her 5 year anniversary of volunteering there.

We bought two dozen duck eggs and two dozen chicken eggs. Not sure how old these were. Ducks eggs were smaller than chicken and the yolks were barely even a light yellow. We have hundreds of duck eggs and these were not good. Bummer. No goats out for petting, and the chicken are crammed into small gages. Seemed more like a cash grab.

I've been buying eggs from this farm nearly every week (at the Saturday Morning Market in St Pete) for years. They are so much better than store-bought: fresh, tasty, real. I've bought goat's milk, and it is 1000 times better than anything from the supermarket. The feta cheese & chèvre is also fabulous! I recently visited the Farm, and was so impressed by the treatment of the animals- a ton of work, and love, goes into this urban farm. I like to know where my food comes from, and that it's created cleanly, sustainably, and humanely. Dancing Goat Farm is a gem in this community.
