OLDSMAR, Florida – You never would have imagined that you would stumble upon a farm right in the middle of a neighborhood, but just outside of Oldsmar, near the community of Westchase, you’ll find The Dancing Goat.

The calls of a rooster are a common sound on the urban farm. It is also a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From ducks and geese to goats and horses – and even emus, there are nearly 1,000 animals on the property.

Pam Lunn, the owner, worked in transportation, but to reinvent herself. So she decided to become a farmer.

“My husband thought I was crazy. He was right,” she joked. “It’s a labor of love. There are no days off. It’s a lot more stressful than corporate America, but it’s a lot more rewarding.”

The Dancing Goat also serves as the agricultural arm of the National Human Society.

“We will take farm animals for them,” Pam said. “We welcome ducks, chickens and alpacas.”

They also have a market here on Wednesdays and Sundays, where they sell their farm products like goat’s milk, cheeses, yogurts, soap and honey. The farm produces 20 gallons of goat milk per day.

It’s expensive to feed the animals as is, and the farm took a hit during the pandemic. It costs $ 4,000 to feed the animals on the farm – every month.

“It’s a lot of milk. It’s a lot of eggs,” Pam explained. “We’re down this summer, which is never good, and a COVID summer is even worse.”
