Please join us for a special Sheep Shearing Festival as we celebrate the arrival of spring, the growth of tender new grass, the animals that thrive on our pastures and Stone Barns Center's 10th anniversary!
This year, enjoy more family friendly activities, crafts, live music, and seasonal fare at our market than ever before. Here are just some of the highlights:
Watch the farmers shear our flock of Finn-Dorset sheep
Learn about wool and sheep at our education booths
Observe professional weavers and spinners
Try your hand at carding, combing and felting wool
Join our farmers and educators for farm demonstrations and tours
When the shearing is done, help us herd our sheep from the barnyard to the pasture
This event sells out each year so be sure to buy your tickets early!
