16th Annual Shearing Day & Herb Sale

Take a step on the wooly side and join us Saturday, April 25th from 10am-4pm for Greenbank Mills & Philips Farm’s 16th annual Shearing Day & Herb Sale!

Witness living history with the shearing of our heritage sheep throughout the day as we ready them for the warmer weather! Learn colonial skills as we demonstrate hand processing from sheep to shawl, including natural dyeing and spinning. Guided tours of our historic mills will be available and as well as our exhibits displayed in the Philips House, including Plein Air paintings from the Greenbank Historic District that are available for purchase.

Every year we also have a wonderful selection of Amish-grown herbs available for purchase, so come get a head start on your garden with us! We have a variety of our wonderful herbs available for purchase during the event.

Back by popular demand, we will be having live music throughout the day again! We look forward to welcoming back Seven Rings out of Wilmington, DE, with their amazing focus on Irish music and classic rock; and new this year is classic rock band Somethin' Like That, also out of the great city of Wilmington, DE!

More details will be released as they are confirmed so check back often! We can't wait to take a walk on the wooly side with you during this family-friendly, free event!
