Muscoot Farm Opens Farmers Market, Shears Sheep On Mother's Day

SOMERS, NY — Another way to celebrate Mother's Day could be trip to the farmers market at Muscoot Farm and the farm's sheep shearing yearly tradition.

On Sunday, and every Sunday through Nov. 20, the farmers market will be open, supporting farmers and sustainable efforts in the area.

There will be more than 20 local vendors each week from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., organizers said.

Also on Sunday, Muscoot Farm hosts its Sheep Shearing program in which its sheep receive their annual haircuts to prepare for the warm months. It will be held in the sheep barn from noon to 3 p.m.

County Executive George Latimer said the farmers market and sheep shearing are two traditions that allow families to spend quality time together while enjoying nature and the outdoors.

"With the Farmers Market running through November, attendees get to experience the beauty of the farm through a variety of seasons while supporting local vendors," he said.

And if the weather forecast is correct, Sunday will be the best day of the weekend after the rain moves out.
