Farm Events & Education
At Three Creeks Farm, we believe agriculture is best experienced firsthand. Throughout the year we welcome visitors to the farm for seasonal events, educational programs, and hands-on experiences designed for all ages. Whether you’re bringing a classroom, homeschool group, or simply looking for a unique farm event, we’d love to share what we do.
Annual & Seasonal Farm Events
Annual Shearing Day
Join us each early December as our flock receives its annual shearing. Visitors are invited to watch the sheep being shorn, ask questions about wool production, and see where many of our fiber products begin.
Because the exact date depends on scheduling, the best way to stay informed is by following us on Facebook or signing up for our email updates.
Pop-Up Farm Events
Throughout the summer and fall we occasionally host special farm events, demonstrations, and open farm days. These vary from year to year, so be sure to follow us on Facebook or join our email list for announcements.
New Hampshire Sheep & Wool Festival
Every year you’ll also find us at the New Hampshire Sheep & Wool Festival, where we bring our sheep, wool products, yarn, and handmade items while sharing our passion for heritage Horned Dorset sheep with visitors from around New England.

We Bring the Farm to You
Can’t come to the farm? We’ll bring part of the farm to your classroom.
One of our halter-trained sheep will visit your school while we read Charlie Needs a Cloak by Tomie dePaola. Students meet a real sheep, touch wool at different stages of processing, learn where clothing comes from, and ask questions.
This program is especially popular with younger students.
Approximately 90 minutes
