Spring Sheep Festival

The farm’s biggest event of the year.

With June’s beautiful weather, the festival attracts a huge crowd. Watch sheep shearing and herding. There are demonstrations of wool dying, spinning and weaving and sales of a variety of wool products.

Kids love seeing the new lambs and the all the other animals. Everybody enjoys the hayrides along the Don McIntyre Trail through the woods.

The silent auction to raise money for the care of the animals and maintenance of the farm has a fascinating array of items donated by our supporters. If your bid doesn’t earn you what you wanted, you can stock up on Taylor-Bray hats, tee-shirts, activity books and beach plum jelly.

Fall Festival

Our Fall Festival features hay-wagon rides along the Don McIntyre Trail and  old time games for the kids.

Pumpkins, gourds, calendars as well as Taylor-Bray Farm T-shirts, hats, activity books and crafts are on sale. Enjoy hot dogs, apple cider, apple cider donut holes and other  treats.

Visit with the animals. There are Nester and Sam, our miniature donkeys,  George and Henry, our Nubian goats, Chloe, our Scotish Highland cow and of course, the sheep and chickens.

Join us for a fun-filled day on this over 375 year old historic farm.
