Thank you to everyone that came out on Sunday Marc

Thank you to everyone that came out on Sunday March 12th to Charter Day! ⁠
⁠
Charter Day is the first event of the year for Pennsbury Manor and seeing all of our visitors out on the grounds and interacting with our volunteers is always amazing to see. The food drive was also a success thanks to all the donations our visitors donated. Big thanks to both the Gather Place Museum and The Heritage Dancers for coming out and helping make Charter Day even more successful. ⁠

Pennsbury Manor is happy to announce that our flock has grown by 3 new additions. We are happy to introduce Hazel, a 3 year old Cheviot mix ewe (female) and her twins Bramble a wether (neutered male ram) & Briar a ewe (female). Bramble & Briar were born in early January and are a Cheviot & Likely Dorset mix. They were donated to us by Paxon Hill Farm of New Hope PA in late January. The three are currently separated from our adult flock until the twins are weened. Once this happens Hazel will join our adult flock and the lambs will continue to be separate until they are a little bit older at which time they will join our adult flock as well. You'll be able to see them in our stable any day we are open and you'll be able to see them tomorrow March 12th during Charter Day! ⁠
