Ewe Turn Blog
Whitefish Bay Farm, Sturgeon Bay, Door County, WisconsinComing out of Hibernation
The Ewe Turn has been silent for a very long time. It is time for us to come out of an extended hibernation and rejoin the rest of the world. We have spent the better part of a year purposefully in a bit of isolation, due largely to the Covid pandemic. For the two of...
Shearing is once again completed
Like so many activities in this Covid 19 pandemic era, shearing the flock has become "a different animal". We decided to wait a little bit this year, in the hopes that the weather would be warmer. Luckily this proved to be the case. Making sure that all of those...
The Winds of Change are Blowing

New Projects and a New Visitor
