Halloween at the Blue Heron Farm, about 50 miles northwest of downtown Houston, is idyllic, though the Segers who own the farm are spooked by how their rural lifestyle could be impacted by the ghost of future development.
A goat takes off in the field wearing a Medusa head dress at Blue Heron Farms on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2022 in Waller. The farm is having a special Halloween tour on Oct. 30, to give people an opportunity to meet the goats."Who would be a good banana?" Lisa Seger asked, considering the most compliant of her three dozen goats. She settled a banana costume on one goat named Gogo.
Around eight of the goats can be counted on to wear a costume without complaint, she said, while others tend to decline the opportunity. When the goats aren't modeling Halloween looks, Blue Heron Farm is a working farm. Lisa and Christian are full-time dairy farmers, selling their selection of cheeses and yogurts at theevery Saturday at Buffalo Speedway and Westheimer — they make a basic goat cheese, goat feta, goat milk yogurt and Mexican goat milk caramel.
"Farming doesn't make you a lot of money and it's really hard to justify buying 12 Halloween costumes for goats," she said.Before making a go at dairy farming, the Segers lived in Oak Forest. Christian worked as a traveling sound engineer on concert tours, while Lisa had what she describes as a miserable job in marketing."We did it in the age of Google," Lisa said."You can learn anything on Google. We learned.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Segers branched out beyond dairy farming, creating a goth trombone band andon Oct. 30 that is open to the public. Guests are welcome to put costumes on the goats and take selfies. "They've already expanded it out east, where most people live. Now they want to do the part out here where nobody lives and they want to do it far bigger than they've done where the people live," Seger said."Basically they're talking about a 120-foot monster."
