Glen Brook's farm includes a small herd of sheep. Participants in all our farm programs, in summer and throughout the year, learn to care for the animals with respect and love, putting them out to pasture during warm months and feeding them hay (and some grain) in winter. In summer the herd is rotated through our pasture. Campers and students assist in rotating the movable fencing so that no patch of ground gets over-grazed. (This also minimizes the possibility of worms being ingested.) Each fall the herd is culled for fleece and meat for our kitchen. While in spring -- lambing season! -- our herd includes numerous nursing lambs. We maintain a rotating stock of breeding ewes. Harvested wool, shorn from the herd in April prior to lambing, is washed and carded and used in our school programs (and in classrooms at the Waldorf School of Garden City) for art projects, clothing, and home furnishings. Fleeces are sold at crafts fairs and farmers' markets.
