Young Farm Visitors Learn About Wool and Sheep

One cool thing about having a blog is I get requests for a farm visits. Recently I had a family from Morris County visit to learn about sheep and wool for a school project. The little girl Ali is in kindergarten and has to write a two page report and a poster. I never remember having to write anything in kindergarten let alone putting together a report and poster. Ali actually had a list of questions to ask me about sheep. What do they eat, how long do they live, when do they get their hair (wool) cut and the list goes on.

Both Ali and Dylan were very shy and timid around the animals until they met Josie. Josie is my favorite ewe and is very gentle. Both learned how to spin and each made a little bracelet from the yarn they spun. It was a fun day and I can’t wait to see Ali’s report.

Life on the farm is good.
