Learn all about sheep at this interactive day at the farm. Learn about the journey from sheep to sweater. Touch wool at various stages of processing, and try using a carding brush and drop spindle! 

Discover the answers to questions such as: Do all sheep produce wool? What is the difference between cashmere and wool? Why do the sheep rotate pastures? How is wool processed?

Guests will also have the opportunity to pick a color of bright wool roving and try hand-spinning. After learning about sheep and wool, everyone will pop out to try and see sheep out on the farm! Fingers crossed there will be new spring lambs to visit!

Adult supervision is required. Dogs are not allowed on the farm.
