Buzz, Baa, and Felt! A Sweet New Workshop is Coming to the Farm

This September, our wool/sheep farm is buzzing with a new kind of energy! Join us for a unique Felting Honey Bees workshop, where we'll celebrate the connection between our sheep and their vital pollinator pals.

Using wool from our very own sheep, you'll learn the fun and simple art of needle felting to create your own charming honey bee. No experience is necessary! As you craft, you'll also hear from special guest Joey Greene of Buttermilk Bees, who will be here to share the fascinating life of a beekeeper.

Come join us outside the barn for a cozy and creative afternoon. You'll leave with a beautiful new piece of art and a deeper appreciation for these amazing insects. Space is limited—reserve your spot today!
