Goats of Dover clears poison ivy, oak, sumac and other invasive plants by grazing its own herd of goats on site, according to its website, which also offers goat visits and events. It names Dover, Natick, Canton, Sherborn and Milton as its service area. A 2026 Google reviewer wrote that for goats to take care of poison ivy or invasive plants, "this is the place to go." A 2025 reviewer who visited the newborn baby goats wrote that "Mary & John take such good care of them." A 2023 customer had two baby goats, Cinnamon and Fawn, at a son's birthday and said John "had great communication prior to the party." A 2023 reviewer wrote that Farmer John visited their preschoolers and that the children were able to hold, pet and feed the goats. A 2022 customer booked a goat o gram for a daughter's birthday and said it was as much fun for the adults as the kids. A local news site has written about the business.
