We had a Great Day at 
Rising Meadow Farm
 on 
Sheep Shearing Day!

    We loved learning about the sheep, meeting new friends,
 eating Lamb Chile for the first time, 
and watching the sheep being sheared by 
Master Blade Shearer Kevin Ford and his assistant Joy.  
Thank you Ron and Ann, owners of 
Rising Meadow Farm 
for the open invitation to share in this event
 on your beautiful farm in Liberty, North Carolina!
