Shearing Day at Star Gazing Farm in Boyds
Come out to watch our fiber animals be relieved of their winter coats! It’s an instant transformation, and quite an interesting process to observe. We will be shearing our:
• alpacas
• sheep
• angora goats
• llamas
Farmer Anne shears professionally and will be doing the demonstrations. Our volunteers will explain the different types of fiber and you’ll have a chance to touch it, and card and even hand spin it if you want to try!
The shearing is done with the utmost respect for the animal; however, because it is not part of their daily routine, it can be a bit stressful for them so we’ll be keeping everything very low key.
WHEN: Saturday, May 17, noon-4pm!
WHERE: Star Gazing Farm, 16760 Whites Store Road, Boyds, MD 20841
WHO IS INVITED: Everyone! This is an event that is fun and truly educational for the whole family (but please leave your own pets at home)
TICKETS: $15 per carload (as many people as you can fit in your car!!).
WHAT ELSE: Our gift shop has wonderful gift ideas for all budgets, and every dollar you spend goes right to helping care for the animals.
Reserve a spot in advance: $15 per carload – no limit to how many are in the car. $20 at the gate.
