Door County Shepherds Market now in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin

The 18th Annual Door County Shepherds' Market

We invite you to attend northeast Wisconsin's oldest fiber event and sale, the 2012 Door County Shepherds' Market. The Market is held to promote products from locally raised sheep, goats and alpacas, and to educate the public about our animals, the fibers they produce and the traditional handcrafts and fiber arts that utilize these locally grown fibers. This year marks our 18th Annual Fiber and Art-To-Wear Sale, featuring fleeces, yarns, rovings, unique knit, woven and felted products and wearable art, spinning and weaving equipment, fair trade baskets, and other related fiber accessories from local artists.

Our annual Shepherds' Market is housed in a lovely, restored barn; please come early and dress for our unpredictable Wisconsin spring weather.

Visitors, please note that most vendors will no longer will be accepting credit cards at the Shepherds Market. Cash and Checks with ID are welcomed, and there is an ATM in nearby Egg Harbor for those who may need it.
