Shape your day:
Out early for the sheep
Set an alarm — the sheep keep their own hours. Bean Hollow moves its flerd onto fresh pasture at eleven, and this is the only Saturday route that gets you there in time. After that the day slows to an amble: dye plants at Blue Craft, goats milked at one, a working dressage barn, and carriage roads to see you home.
5 farms · 95 min on the road · back in Washington by 3:27 PM

On the road by 10:44. Gates open at eleven, and Bean Hollow is sixteen minutes from the Visitors Center — pull in right as the sheep start moving. Dawdle and you'll miss it; the goat milking at one will still be waiting for you.

Where the day takes you
Staying the day? Ask Charles where to eat, what’s open late, or what to skip if you’re behind.
Ask Charles → (needs signal)Signal is patchy between farms. Print this or open it in Maps before you set off.
Rain or shine. These are working farms: dress for grass, mud and the odd hill.
The organizers ask visitors to leave pets at home.
