“Flock Together is about opening gates and coming together in our working spaces,” says
shepherd Ryen Wright of Headwaters Grazing. “It’s a chance for folks to experience
agriculture not as an idea, but as the living, joyful, hard work we do together.”
Rooted in the belief that many hands make light work, the festival emphasizes connection,
curiosity, and collective joy. Visitors are encouraged to get their hands dirty, ask questions,
and experience farmers and ranchers in their natural habitat: working, teaching, and
celebrating together.

● Sheep shearing all day, with hands-on wool skirting
● Ranch-to-table lunch

● Barn Theater film projections
