Sheep & Shear Delights at Shelburne Farms

Join Shelburne Farms on Saturday, April 22 any time from 10:00am - 1:00pm to celebrate sheep and all that they provide us.  Watch a sheep get its yearly haircut!  After the sheep is shorn,  you will have the opportunity to skirt, wash, and card its fleece — a process in which wool becomes ready to be turned into warm, cozy clothing and blankets.  We will be spinning wool into yarn bracelets, felting, and a few mother sheep and their lambs will be visiting the Children’s Farmyard area for you to meet!

Registration Details: 

Please register upon arrival in the McClure Center for School Programs located in the Farm Barn.  Registration will be cash only ($5 per person).  Follow signs from entrance to parking at the Farm Barn. 

Sorry, no visiting dogs except service dogs.
