Sheep Shearing Day at Forest Home Farms

San Ramon’s Forest Home Farms will hold Sheep Shearing Day on Saturday, April 25, with live shearing and farm activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (sanramon.ca.gov) The city’s April 17 update says the event will also include sheep dog demonstrations, music, food, crafts and access to the tractor museum at the historic park. The event appears on the Parks & Community Services calendar as “Sheep Shearing Day” on April 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (sanramon.ca.gov) Forest Home Farms Historic Park is at 19953 San Ramon Valley Boulevard in San Ramon. The city describes the site as a place that preserves and interprets the agricultural history of the San Ramon Valley. (sanramon.ca.gov) Sheep shearing is the annual removal of a sheep’s fleece, and the city frames the program as a public demonstration of that farm routine. On the farm’s events page, San Ramon describes the April 25 program as a chance to watch the sheep get their annual “hair cut.” (sanramon.ca.gov) The event fits the farm’s broader role as a working history site rather than a static museum. The city says the grounds host exhibits, a tractor museum and self-guided tours, with educational programs connecting present-day visitors to the valley’s farming past. (sanramon.ca.gov) Forest Home Farms is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the city, and Sheep Shearing Day lands within those regular public hours. The city’s Parks & Community Services page lists the event among its upcoming April programs. (sanramon.ca.gov) For families planning the weekend, the main details are fixed: Saturday, April 25, at Forest Home Farms, with the sheep shearing program running four hours starting at 10 a.m. The city has posted the event in both its April 17 news update and the farm’s event listings.
