Door County Shepherds Market now in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin

The 19th Annual Door County Shepherds' Market

We invite you to attend northeast Wisconsin's oldest fiber event and sale, the 2013 Door County Shepherds' Market. The Market is held to promote products from locally raised sheep, goats, alpacas, and llamas, 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 19th 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.

New this year, we welcome Kirsten Christianson, who is offering a papermaking class during the market (see registration instructions in her vendor listing), and new vendors Lynn Schuster, Maralyn Fowler, Debbie Lynne Skubal, and Rick Harabes. And, we are now offering scrumptious treats and lunches provided by Kimz Galley Restaurant of Sturgeon Bay, including DC Cherry Chicken Salad Wraps, a vegetarian selection, plus BBQ Pulled Pork, Brats, Hot Dogs, Cherry Crisp, Coffee, and Cookies.

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 not all vendors accept credit cards at the Shepherds Market. Cash and Checks with ID are welcomed by all, and there is an ATM in nearby Egg Harbor for those who may need it.
