We have another Woolapalooza in the books!
While we didn’t get a triplet birth like last year (much to Farmer Caroline’s relief, we’re sure), this year’s Woolapalooza was a huge success. The day started off with a touch of rain, but that didn’t stop more than 1,000 visitors of all ages from lining up for our annual sheep-shearing festival.
Here are some highlights from the day:
Kevin Ford shearing all of our adult sheep.

Talented fiber artisans from all over Massachusetts.
Delicious food.

And of course, the stars of the show: Our lambs!
