Our Story
Goods and Goats Market was created by my husband, James Jones and me, Lani Jones. We met in 1987 a few weeks after high school graduation. He was a bushy headed surfer boy and I was, well, unlike any girl he had ever met. A real ranch girl right here in San Juan Capistrano all this time! Much to my horseman-rancher fathers discomfort, we married just over a year later. We have 4 daughters, all artists and 3 grandchildren, who own our hearts completely. James always wanted to try his hand at ranching. Unfortunately my Dad, Morey Leavitt Senior, passed away at the age of 51 in 1995. James saw his chance when my step mom put our land on the market 10 years later. It was about an acre of dirt and covered in junk. James bought it and had no time for it. It sat relatively empty for 10 years. Then we heard the magic words, your going to be Grandparents! It was time to make our dream come true. James started building, Lani started directing. we started building a mini ranch/farm for our grandkids to experience the joy of animals, gardening, collecting eggs, and most of all, BABY GOATS! All that you see at the farm was conceived by our artistic souls. Truth be told, he wanted cattle like my dad, but 1 acre is not enough for cows! Thats when I introduced him to the love of goats! Where did the Goat Yoga come from? James and our daughter, Grace saw it on YouTube and urged me to marry my loves of yoga and goats. Plus, the goats could actually pay for themselves. Well, it was instant magic. My goats are super crazy for yoga. It was an all WIN situation. I finally found an outlet for my talents. My ability to nurture animals, people, my Doctorate Degree in Shopping, (self taught) and my SUPER TALENT to create fun have found a home. I have found my purpose in my second half of life, to Create Bliss! Please come join us and find your inner BLISS.

FAQs
Our yin yoga is a slower, meditative form of yoga. It involves more stretching and we hold poses for longer. Our goats are involved in the class as well and will jump on your back to help push you into your pose and also lay next to you for cuddles. If you’re looking to slow down and relax, this is the class for you. Our baby goat yoga is a more active, fast paced yoga. We move through poses quickly, while our goats jump and twist from back to back. If your looking for excitement and laughter, this is the class for you.
We ask that children be about 10 years old to participate in our yoga classes. Our goats weigh 35-60 pounds and they do jump on everyone.
Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and make sure that your shirt covers your back completely (little goat hooves can hurt if they are directly on your skin). You may bring your own mat or rent one of ours for $5.00. And definitely bring your phone/camera!

Unfortunately, no. Some of our goats are very frightened of dogs they don’t know. For the safety of your dog and our goats, we ask the you kindly leave your furry friends at home.
