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: $79.50/person and includes 6% Vermont State Sales Tax ($75 + $4.50 = $79.50). PLEASE REGISTER with both your phone number and email. Thanks

Customer Reviews
Took my family and wow what a day. The team is fantastic, knowledgeable, personable, and provides some complimentary maple syrup. The dogs were the best part of our Stowe week vacation. They are adorable and so well trained. We will definitely be back for wine and wags!
From the beautiful scenery,the gorgeous farm and the amazing dogs it was a magical experience. From the minute the back of the truck opened and all the dogs came bounding out you knew this was going to be something special. Watching them run down the hill and jump in the pond just made you smile. All the dogs were very gentle and well behaved. They got a lot of attention from the guests and we all were very happy. I had the pleasure of drying off one of the puppies. Didn’t know this was on my bucket list until today. Thank you so much for opening your farm to the Golden Return Experience. Everyone should come there at least once. It’s something you will never forget
My family and I absolutely LOVED our “Golden Experience”. Obviously the dogs were perfect: there were more than we expected so we had many to play with! The setting is beautiful and the feeling is relaxed. Even in a relatively short time we could figure out the dogs’ personalities: they are each so wonderful, calm, relaxed, “chill”,…. It was fantastic !
The whole experience was amazing. Highly recommend Golden Dog Farm and the Butternut Goldens were a dream.
Getting to play with the Goldens was so much fun. They were so happy to have people to play with. I highly recommend having some play time with the dogs.
