Farm Creates Service That Offers Goats & llamas To Join Video Meetings
The coronavirus has forced many people to get creative in finding different ways to continue to generate income and work remotely.
One farm took it to the next level and is offering goats and llamas to join your work or school video meetings.
Sweet Farms in California, which is a nonprofit animal sanctuary created a Goat 2 Meeting service that costs from $65 to $750 to have any one of its lovely animals join video calls.
“After the coronavirus happened and shelter in place went into effect, we had to completely rethink the way we were driving revenue and executing our mission,” Nate Salpeter, Sweet Farm co-founder, said to CNN. “Our board member, Jon Azoff, came up with the idea and said: ‘You know, we’re having so many company meetings and happy hours but they’re all boring. What if we could get a goat or llama on the call?’”
The animal call has become very popular and the farm is booked all the way through June. They are also offering virtual field trips for schools, where students can virtually feed the animals. The proceeds go to animal rescue.
“I think we’re all a little stressed with what’s going on — many of us have been sitting inside,” co-founder Anna Sweet said in an interview to Business Insider. “We’re just hoping to bring some smiles to people’s faces while bringing them out to the farm at the same time.”
So if you want to spice up your meetings you can book a Goat 2 Meeting by filling out this form on Sweet Farm’s website. Happy goating!
