Shearing Day

Shearing Day

Presented by Spicy Lamb Farm at Spicy Lamb Farm

The Spring Shearing of the Sheep will take place from 12 to 4pm. Visit the farm and watch the ewe flock being shorn. Visitors can even try their hand at shearing through the Adopt-a-Sheep family membership program that ends with an heirloom blanket in time for next winter. Learn about fiber arts from spinners who will be demonstrating what the fleeces become.

Our April events tend to get very crowed. Please plan ahead for ride sharing, parking, and walking. We will have a policeman to direct traffic, but remember to turn around at the dead end of the road and park heading out. We have had folks park as far away as Camp Ledgewood so be very careful of children on the road. You can also drop the young and old at the driveway. Just please don’t create a traffic jam. It is also a muddy mess after such a mild winter so please dress for the farm.

 

Admission Info

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children. We take cash or checks for admission and shopping in the farm shop but aren’t set up for credit cards. Admission is our fundraiser to pay for hay and capital improvements for the flock.

If you are a frequent farm visitor, you might want to consider, a Season PSelect Filesass or the Adopt a Sheep & Watch your Blanket Grow which includes a season pass, your opportunity to help shear, and a custom blanket. Email us with questions.

There are also a few spaces left for our Egg Hunt & Brunch before shearing at 10am.
