Sheep and Shear Delights!

Family & Youth Programs
A freshly shorn sheep

Join us any time between 10:00AM and 1:00PM to celebrate sheep and all that they provide us.  

A professional shearer will be in the Children’s Farmyard to give some of our flock their yearly haircuts. After the sheep are shorn, you can skirt, wash, and card the fleece, a process that prepares wool to be spun into yarn and turned into warm, cozy clothing and blankets.

We’ll be spinning wool into yarn bracelets and wet felting, too. Plus, a few mother sheep and their lambs will be visiting the Children's Farmyard area for you to meet!

The Shelburne Explorers, our 4-H club, will be holding a bake sale with yummy treats.
