Every year, Ardenwood Historic Farm celebrates spring by giving the sheep their annual “haircut.” In 2025, Sheep Shearing Day will take place on April 12. In addition to watching a professional shear the winter wool coats off of sheep, attendees can try wool carding or learn how an old fashioned spinning equipment transforms raw fibers into yarn. Kids can make their own wooly lamb to take home.
This is a drop-in program; no registration is required. Parking is free. Admission is $7/adults. $6/seniors (62+), $5/children (4-17 yrs.), 3 years and under free.
