About City Grazing
City Grazing is a San Francisco-based goat landscaping business. An environmentally friendly solution to weed control, our business rents out goats to clear public and private land. Whether you have acres or an overgrown backyard, our goats would be eager to eat your weeds and aid in fire prevention, naturally. While they are not out on the job, our herd lives on pasture in San Francisco’s Bayview district, between the SF Bay Railroad and cement recycling plant.Goats grazing is an ecologically sound practice that eliminates the need for toxic herbicides, chemicals, and gas-powered lawn mowers. They clear brush in areas that people or machines cannot easily reach, like steep slopes or ditches. The goats can help restore soil fertility by providing organic fertilizer.
No other form of weed control comes with such a great character! Our herd is very friendly, lively, and great with children. As we work around the city, City Grazing teaches about animal husbandry and ecological stewardship of industrial land. Our goats are available for birthday parties and educational visits at the railyard coming soon!
Why Choose Goats?
- Goats can eat weeds in terrain that is difficult or impossible to mow – steep slopes, gullies, between rocks, etc.
- Goats can eat plants that are hard to remove by hand, such as poison oak, thistles and blackberry.
- A managed goat grazing plan can reduce and potentially eliminate species of weeds and invasive plants from an area.
- They eat the plants that fuel wildfires, improving firefighters’ ability to manage and stop fires.
- Goats only need one tool: an appetite! There are no chemicals, mowers, chainsaws, or machines. This means no fuels are used and no emissions are generated, and you don’t have the liability of a worker injuring his or herself with dangerous equipment.
- There is no hauling or dumping of debris. They automatically recycle your plant mass into fertilizer, and work it into the soil with their hooves.
- Watching our goats work is a fun and educational experience that you’ll want to share with your friends and family. They’re the cutest weed eaters we’ve ever seen!
