Learn about the history and use of peat for fuel here. Watch the skilled dogs heard the sheep, see a sheep shearing demonstration and learn about the horses work here on the farm. After, join Mrs. Watson in the kitchen for a delicious spread of home-baked cookies and savories served with tea and coffee.
