Ewe will fall in love with Soule Homestead lambs
MIDDLEBORO — The newest additions to the Soule Homestead family are un-bahhh-rably cute.
Six lambs have been born in the last month, providing visitors with one of the most popular sights at the farm.
The lambs, which sport a variety of colors, have already developed a fan club of sorts, said Kelly MacDonald Weeks, acting director of Soule Homestead.
“They’re a big draw,’’ she said.“People love baby animals. Kids have said their favorite part of the summer is the Soule lamb season.’’
Five of the lambs are rams.
The name of the sole ewe, Bertha, was inspired by Bertha Terhune, a long-time volunteer and former treasurer who died unexpectedly in May, said Kelly MacDonald Weeks, acting director of Soule Homestead.
Terhune, she said, was an “all around amazing volunteer.’’
Soule Homestead, located at 46 Soule St., aims to provide a community-based, non-profit education center for both schools and the general public. Learning opportunities include environmental programs, organic farming activities, crafts and cultural events.
The homestead is open from sunrise to sunset every day. Admission is free, except for certain activities.
