Welcome to Ewe Turn, the blog for Whitefish Bay Farm. Blogs are not new to the internet, but this is our first effort. We can be rather certain that this is the first blog for a Bed and Breakfast in Door County, Wisconsin, and also one of very few blogs from a B&B/flock of Corriedale sheep/Art Gallery. In future entries we hope to keep up to date with activities at Whitefish Bay Farm. As opportunities allow we also will share pictures from around the farm (and perhaps elsewhere!).
Hopefully this blog will run more smoothly than current operations around the barn. It is cold here and once again we have snow. The auger from the grain bin into the barn is frozen up at the moment. So, if you happen to hear loud complaints this evening from our direction, it will undoubtedly be from the sheep. They do not want to be deprived of their treats!
I should be off to work on the auger. At the least I can share the view looking out toward the pastures.
Hi Dick & Gretchen!
We’re looking forward to finding some interesting writing at your new weblog. Good luck & have fun!

I have so enjoyed reading your news. Fascinated by descriptions of dye making! And real snow! Where i live (Ireland) we have sleety wet snow- makes ground muddy. And too cold to enjoy being out of doors. Good luck with your enterprises. Mary
Hi Mary!
It is good to hear from Ireland. You may have sleety wet snow in the winters but you have lovely green pastures in the spring which are populated with wonderful flocks of sheep.

I made a “Ewe Turn” on the Internet and found your blog…a delightful addition to your website. Like Door County, our snow in Illinois is nearly gone, but what a winter we’ve had! Nothing keeps me warmer, though, than the scarf I wove from Whitefish Bay Farm’s “Fuzzy Bear” yarn. Wearing it always blocks out wind and warms my heart. Thank you for being good stewards of God’s world and caring for some wonderful, wooly creatures!
It is good to hear that Fuzzy Bear’s memory lives on at least in her wool and the yarn it produced! We do miss her.
Dear Gretchen and Dick,
I am so glad that I finally visited your gallery this fall. Now I have read your entire blog. What a wonderful life for you and your treasured sheep. I will look forward to reading new posts and visiting again next year.
