We held the first 1-day Farmers Tour of the year, "Sheep Keeper"!

This zookeeper series is always very popular, and this time the capacity was exceeded.
Thank you very much for your many applications!

The 26 participants, consisting of 12 groups, first checked in and then listened to a talk by staff about the ecology and habits of sheep and the work of the zookeepers. As they looked at photos and materials, there were moments when they exclaimed in surprise, "Wow!"

After learning, we went to a sheep shed near the Fantasy Square where we actually fed the lambs and interacted with the newborn lambs that were born this year.

Everyone quickly fell in love with the friendly sheep!
Hold the lamb and take a commemorative photo.

At lunchtime, enjoy a delicious lunch made with local ingredients.
In the afternoon, we tried our hand at making sheep mascots.
Each child created a unique and cute piece of work!

I was comforted by the cute sheep and very satisfied with the delicious food.
It was a very fulfilling day where we also enjoyed the handmade experience.
Stay tuned for the next event!
