Burdock Days 2025

Come for a day of work, games, and fun to help us remove burdock from the farm before it goes to seed and sticks to all the sheep.

Show up at 11:00 for snacks and instructions on the game rules, game starts at High Noon!

Players will break into 4 teams to try to collect as much burdock as possible from the farm.

The team that collects the most burdock wins!

Players will receive raffle tickets according to how well their team did, for a chance to win prizes including meat, veggies, sheepskins, and pruning tools!

Come have fun, and help us keep the burs out of the wool, and prevent the spread of this very well adapted plant!

Bring gloves, and appropriate tools for burdock removal if you have any. We will have some tools to share as well. Loppers work great.

Prizes, a jump in the Apple River, food, and a campfire hang afterwards.
