On this celestially focused weekend, why not get grounded with a farm experience? Our baby lambs will warm up your wow muscles. And our regenivore brunch/lunch will nourish you and round out your learning adventure. Our Farmstand will also be open during this event! Sunday, April 7th 11am – 2 pm
Small IS beautiful! For 15 years we have shared the intimacy of our farm via authentic farm stays experiences as well as a farmstand, open for the growing season May – October.
On Sunday, April 7th, 2024 we are opening up for a special chance for folks to enjoy the lambs born in the last two weeks. We are not a petting zoo. Instead, we share the marvel of lambs being lambs. Hear their call and response patterns with their ewes, feel the absolute value of their wool, transporting you far from our world of fast fashion. See them cozying up in a corner of the barn for a nap, bouncing through the barnyard at times looking like they are all legs, other times seeming so soft that they must be the origin of plush toys!
The lamb tour will give you a chance to observe their whims and whimsy as they play outside. You will see how we care for them in our barn whose posts and beams were hand-hewn in the mid-1800s when Merino sheep and wool were the basis of Vermont’s economy, prior to the dairy era. We will invite you to ponder the work we all can do together – these lambs, their ewes, farmers and YOU can increase the life and depth in our soils, enabling the soaking up of big storms, storing water in deep roots for dry times, cycling carbon, feeding pollinators. How farmers farm and eaters eat matters! During eclipse weekend and every day the sun and moon do their ordinary things, as the folks at Kiss the Ground say, soil is our common ground!
AND you can also satisfy your sense of taste with a simple farm lunch. Menu is simple but satisfying! Farm Fresh Egg Fritatta with or without our ham; Fricandeaux (baked pork terrine) with pickles; Carrot salad and Bone Broth.
100% Vermont Farm fresh meal made entirely from organic, regenerative & climate friendly veggies, meats & eggs grown on our farm & partner farms! Simple & delicious.
Plenty of food, seating is limited & picnic style, but you can also take your plate for a stroll & watch the lambs.
We have limited capacity so if you want to guarantee a spot, you should buy a ticket ahead. If space is available, we will accept drop-ins.
Tickets available at: https://BabyLambFarmTour.eventbrite.com
Details: Sunday, April 7th 11am-2pm at the farm
Our Farmstand will be open during this even stocked with local farm products from our farm and several partners including: eggs, meats, Herbal teas and tonics, farm hot Sauces, local vinegars, honey & maple syrup, canned farm products such as Bloody Mary Mix, pickles, maple sweetened jams and our Farm-Dog Approved Dog Treats.
If you miss this weekend, the Farmstand will open for the season May 1st & we will start with some baby animal tours May 1st & 4th — as not only will the lambs be bouncing, they’ll be joined by chicks & turkey poults.
