Golden Retriever Experience®
$99.95
| /
Golden Dog Farm and Butternut Goldens bring a whole new meaning to “Happy”! Surround yourself with a “happy” of Goldens from Butternut Goldens and Golden Dog Farm. Much like a gaggle of geese or a rhumba of snakes, a “happy” is a group of Golden Retrievers! And for a "Happy Hour" you can enjoy a playdate with at least 10 Golden Retrievers in the bucolic setting of Golden Dog Farm. Play ball, snap photos, and cuddle on your way to having the best afternoon of your life! Refreshments provided.
Pricing: $99.95/person and includes 6% Vermont State Sales Tax ($94.30 + $5.65 = $99.95). PLEASE REGISTER with both your phone number and email. Thanks

Customer Reviews
There aren't enough words to express the experience that is had here. This was my 2nd time, and it was just as amazing, if not better than the first. Doug, Becca, Dana and Susan are the people the world needs, as they bring so much joy and happiness to others through this experience. Pure, genuine kindness. I can't wait until my next experience with Golden Dog Farm!
I brought my boyfriend here as a surprise birthday gift and he loved it. It was the best experience and made us so genuinely happy. It was great to meet so many different people from all over and the owners were so friendly! Can’t recommend it enough, best time ever.
A dream and more than what we had hoped for! Would do again, thank you!
My fiancé and I came to the Golden Dog Farm following the passing of our two beloved Golden boys. This experience helped in healing my broken heart in so many ways, I could never even begin to express my gratitude. Such a fun, cute, and cuddly day! The owner’s were also amazing and some of the kindest souls. 100/10 recommend!
What an amazing experience. Having the privilege of owning Golden's this truly was heaven on earth. The farm is beautiful and the barn, so cozy and inviting. The Golden’s are gorgeous, beautiful temperaments and thoroughly enjoyed the experience as much as we did. Rebecca is awesome and loves her farm and the Golden’s. She took a lot of beautiful pictures that we were able to view and cherish.
