2011 Esther’s Place Events
September
Esther’s Place and Lamb of God Farm Days
September 3 & 4
Celebrate Labor Day weekend with the fruits of farm labor- with our fall open house. Sat and Sunday Sept. 3&4th, 10-4 pm, we'll be having lots of free family fun here at Esther's Place. Tours at 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, and 3 will offer a peak at our sheep, a chance to hand feed them, a guided tour of the gardens and more. Come back to the shop for some lemonade, to sample heirloom tomatoes and other goodies and to make a felted veggie pin.
If you didn't get to make it out for our Spring tour, you might want to put this on your calendar! This is a free event so come on out. We have all our new fall items, plus the shop will be all decorated for the season to come.
