FARMERS MARKET AND SHEEP SHEARING RETURN TO MUSCOOT FARM THIS MOTHER’S DAY.

 

(Katonah, NY) – Celebrate Mother’s Day with a trip to Muscoot Farm to shop the Farmers Market and experience the farm’s sheep shearing yearly tradition, Sunday, May 8.

 

The Farmers Market will run every Sunday, through Nov. 20, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The weekly farmers market supports farmers and sustainable efforts in our area, featuring over 20 local vendors each week.

 

Each year on Mother’s Day, Muscoot Farm hosts its Sheep Shearing program in which its sheep receive their annual haircuts to prepare for the warm months. It will be held in the sheep barn from 12 noon to 3 p.m.

 

County Executive George Latimer said: “These two Muscoot Farm traditions allow for families to spend quality time together while enjoying nature and the outdoors. With the Farmers Market running through November, attendees get to experience the beauty of the farm through a variety of seasons while supporting local vendors.”

 

Commissioner of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation Kathy O’Connor said: “Muscoot Farm is a great family destination in Westchester County and this Mother’s Day I look forward to families participating in these enjoyable programs available.”
