Sheep Shearing Day at Weir River Farm

By Laurie Corbett, Publisher Mom, South Shore Boston April 28, 2016
This Saturday, April 30th Weir River Farm, in Hingham, will host their annual Sheep Sheering Day!

Families are invited to visit the farm from 10AM to 2PM to learn about what it means to be a sheep, watch the sheep sheering, and see a wool spinner turn wool into yard. Kids are also welcome to learn more about sheep from knowledgeable 4-H & Teen Tuesday crew, participate in an outdoor garden activity or an indoor craft. There will also be food trucks available to purchase lunch or a snack!


Weir River Farm is located at 140 Turkey Hill Lane in Hingham. Admission for Sheep Sheering Day is $5 for member families, and $10 for non-member families.
