We want to make sure there is room for everyone to view the shearing, enjoy the music and food, so we will limit ticket sales to our capacity.
Come spend a day in the country with us !
Step into the main barn to watch the shearing. We have almost 500 to shave down and Don is getting old and cranky but we think that he should be able to clip maybe 100 and beat last year's record.
With over 400 pregnant and due, somewhere in our barn, a ewe will be in labor and maybe you can witness a new arrival.
Enjoy a taste of farmstead cheeses. At least a dozen will be out for tasting. Here is a listing of most of them
