Volume 14,  February 2010

Listed on this page are events and significant dates occurring throughout the current year at Whitefish Bay Farm. Also included are other events which we feel are of special interest from the local area or from farther afield in Door County.

Throughout the year we also maintain a blog, the Ewe Turn. For those not familiar with a blog, it is simply an online web journal or log. The Ewe Turn will contain up-to-date news and images concerning life and events in and around Whitefish Bay Farm involving all of us, including the sheep and Pussa the cat. Besides regular contributions from the innkeepers/fiberartists/farmers, occasionally the blog is subject to guerilla contributions from the flock (especially "special correspondent" Nanoo Nanoo).

Please join us!
