Saturday, March 27th will be this years Clothe Faire Shearing Day event. 10 - 3 with all the fun of past years. So come and watch the sheep get sheared, see some handspinning, have a great pulled pork lunch.
We will be returning this summer to the Ottawa, IL Old Town Farmers Market each Saturday from 8AM to 12:30PM (see picture). This is a great little market where you can get produce that the vendors actually grow or produce on their farms. Fresh vegetables, mellons, baked breads and sweet treats, homemade dog biscuts, or hot sauce. As well as plants and flowers. Shepherdwoods Farm will be offering wool fleeces, wool roving for handspinners and crafters, wool yarn, handknitted or woven items and homemade soap. Dates are every Saturday beginning in May and running thru the 3rd Saturday in October.
Also, Check out our newest items in the Online Store. Lots of new kits for children. They would make great birthday presents or keep the kids busy this summer with some artistic projects.
