Shepherds Harvest Festival

On Mother’s Day Weekend in Lake Elmo, MN this festival will share its abundance of local wools, sheep breeds, fiber artists and craftspeople in order to help the greater community embrace natural fibers and sustainable, low-tech traditions.

Minnesota’s largest sheep and wool festival cultivates new farmers.

Charity spin-in at Minnesota sheep and wool festival produces three sheep for Heifer International.

A house made of wool, Mongolian felting, Japanese and Peruvian weaving, Scandinavian Naalbinding and the history of Minnesota's own cultural melting pot create an international backdrop for families to enjoy the harvest of local shepherds.

Shepherd's Havest Festival has officially joined the United Nations in its declaration of 2009 as the International Year of Natural Fibers.

Minnesota’s largest sheep and wool festival attracts over 7,000 visitors each Mother’s Day weekend.
