Will I be able to see the sheep during my visit?

It depends on the time of day and season that you visit. We have created an environment of pastures, barns and farm yards where the sheep have free range to go where they want to go. Sometimes the sheep are visible to the public, and sometimes they are not, and they change their location often. When they are in their pastures, you can spot them easily. You can call us at 781-894-2798 Monday through Friday during business hours to find out more.

"Sheepshearing...catches the “going somewhere interesting”... in the annual shift from winter to summer and brings a general public together in a colorful festivity..."
