A Year at Dundee Farm
January
We shear and vaccinate our flock, test for OPP, ship our wool to be process and select and order the flower and vegetable seeds for the garden.
February
Lambing time! We anxiously look forward to each and every lamb from our flock. The School of Lambs & Ivy watch and learn how to help our ewes and lambs in the lambing barn.
March & April
We continue to monitor our lambs, turn them out to pasture, weigh and watch to see how their fleece is developing. The garden is cleaned and fertilized and Spring planting begins. Local school groups visit the farm.
May & June
We stock and sort our new shipment of yarns
and rovings, The lambs learn to follow the
Jr. Shepherds, rotate the grazing fields, put up the new nesting bird houses and we all attend the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival!
July & August
This is the time we attend the Festivals and Fairs we have entered, sort the flock and look for new additions to our flock. The garden harvest is in full swing and much of our time is spent outside on the farm. We have many visitors at this time, summer camp, and non-profit group come and sometimes camp here and work in the city.
September
The rams and ewes are prepared for breeding season by crutching the wool and are separated into breeding groups. Market lambs are sold and yearlings moved for breeding.
October, November & December
Bred ewes are monitored, rams taken out and turned to larger pasture and lambs are grown out. We have our Annual Fall Celebration and clean up the farm and prepare for the next year.
