Summer Workshop Series
We are excited to start offering day long mini-apprenticeships in the summer of 2024. Join Shepherd Meg for a day on the farm, learning about shepherding and getting hands on experience with sheep. This series is free and open to everyone, no experience necessary. Come prepared to spend the day working on a sheep farm! Spring, summer and fall mini-apprenticeships listed below.
Join us for one class, or all of them!
