Open Farm Day at Cate Hill Orchard Sunday

Past event
Oct 7, 2018, 12 to 5 PM

Come join us while we celebrate the fall apple harvest season and the end of our second full season of sheep dairying! Watch our farm team as we hand milk our flock of 35 sheep; process wool and sheep skins, and make cheese. We'll have lamb curry and apple and lamb turnovers for sale; apple and cheese tastings; cider making; and a short orchard concert of songs about sheep, apples and fall. Our farm store will be open with lots of farm produced items for sale including: certified organic apples and cider; cider vinegar; grass fed lamb; sheep cheese; sheep skyr (Icelandic style yogurt); and bear fat salves made with CBD and wild crafted medicinal tree resins.

Schedule: (tentative)
1pm: Sheep Milking Demonstration
2 pm: Demos of traditional sheepskin tanning; wool processing; and cheesemaking
3 pm: Farm Song sings songs about sheep, apples, and fall
