Please join us for our 11th annual Sheep Shearing Fest! At the end of a long winter, help us celebrate the arrival of spring, the growth of tender new grass and the animals that thrive on our pastures.
Enjoy family friendly activities, crafts, live music and seasonal fare from local vendors. Here are just some of the highlights:
Watch the farmers shear our flock of Finn-Dorset sheep
Learn about wool and sheep
Observe professional weavers and spinners
Try your hand at carding, combing and felting wool
