Come visit our Ask A Master Gardener booth while you attend the Forest Home Farm Sheep Shearing event on April 20, 2023.  Our UC Master Gardener volunteers will be there to talk with you, answering a wide range of gardening questions and offering free home gardening information and resources.

Sheep Shearing is one of the San Ramon Historic Foundations largest annual events. Sheep will receive their annual haircut and provide an opportunity for us to demonstrate how their wool is removed; cleaned and spun into yarn all while the sheep dogs are herding the next sheep in line to get their haircut.

Join us for a fun filled day on the oldest homestead in San Ramon. This is a wonderful opportunity for community members of all ages to enjoy a day on the farm while learning and having fun. Forest Home Farms was built and settled in the early 1800s and your attendance will make a difference in the preserving this unique piece of San Ramon history.
