Announcements

Sheep Shearing Day was held Saturday, March 7, 2009 at the Anderson Family Farm. Clint Goodwin from Northport came to the Anderson Farm to shear their small flock of Shetland sheep. Over 20 participants were able to watch, feel the fleeces while on the sheep, ask questions, buy fiber, and visit the rest of the animals on the farm.
