Back when I was in Venezuela, I used to joke around that I was going to start a business where I would take goats to places that were overgrown with vegetation. The idea was that the goats would devore all unwanted plants and that people who needed to clean their lot or mown their lawn would hire me (ehem, my goats).

The business would be named “Chivojardin”, which could be translated to “Goatgarden”. People used to laugh about that, and so did I. However, last year I found out that that business actually exists, and that even if it doesn’t have a name as cool as mine, it’s still kinda cool 🙂
I found one example, Goats on the Go and Hire Goats. It seems that my idea was not crazy at all, and I hope that all hired goats get a lot of delicious food and enjoy their job.
