Food, games and activities for all ages.

We are honored to be hosting a raffle for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, to raise funds for this worthy organization.
The weekends are similar but not identical. Each weekend will have shearing of alpacas and sheep, farm tour wagon ride, slingshots and ziplines, the concession stand, petting zoo, pony rides and the trivia contest. The crafters, some of the wineries and the attractions will change somewhat.
Food: featuring lamb speidies and apple fritters in there somewhere
The farm is Handicap accessible
We were proud to have our Festival named one of the "Top Ten things to do with your Kids" last year by the Syracuse Post Standard
The Festival starts with the "Running of the Sheep" every day shortly after 10 am - if weather permits!
We bring the sheep from pasture, across the road and into the barn, like Barcelona without the risk of getting gored!
