We began our day at one of the furthest farms on the list - Dancing Ewe Farm in Granville, NY.
I'm sure when you think 'farm' you can't begin to imagine the extent of what this magical farm has to offer. In fact....even after our visit, I wasn't aware of all it had to offer. That's why I always research websites. I strongly urge you to check this one out too because this is a farm like no other I've ever visited. Dancing Ewe Farm specializes in the production of Tuscan style Pecorino, which is a raw sheep's milk cheese. After sampling some, I can tell you, it is delicious!! Their flock of 120 Fresian-cross ewes also produces fleece for outer garments. Jody Somers, the man whose vision it was to make sheep's milk cheese, restored what was once a dairy farm from it's run down state to the beautiful farm it is today. His wife Luisa, who Jody met while studying the making of sheep's milk cheese in Tuscany, came to the US to be an au pair. Fate and a sheepdog brought them together (you really need to read their story) and together they have created not just a sheep farm, but a culinary wonderland where they produce olive oil, cured meats and cheese. They also serve Saturday dinners, Sunday lunches and even a special dinner under the stars once each summer - with all meals prepared by Luisa and consisting of authentic Italian dishes. Luisa is also beginning hands-on cooking classes in May-October.

Spring means babies on a farm and there were definitely babies at Dancing Ewe Farm today. Jody says they'll have around 100 babies but will only keep about 25. If you think your little ones are noisy, you should have been in the barn with these cuties....

This was a wonderful stop on the tour. I wish we could have hung around a little longer, but the list was long and the time was ticking by, so one last glance at these beauties and we were on our way.
