​Ticks can still be active in MA
If you spend time outdoors, including at Sheep Pasture, be sure to check yourself and your pets for ticks after any outdoor activities. Ticks can be active during the winter months and often take advantage of warm days. You never know if you have an unwelcome hitchhiker! 
For more information, click this link to Ticks Are Out in Mass 
​or click here for information from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to learn about repelling insects. We encourage all visitors to use insect repellent and to take other precautions against biting insect pests. Don't forget to check your pets after being outdoors, too!

Sheep Pasture Eggs
Eggs may be available in limited quantities in the winter at Sheep Pasture. Please call the NRT office at 508-238-6049 to see if eggs are available.

Why are eggs not always available?
Hens naturally slow down or stop production of eggs in the colder and darker winter months, so less eggs are available. Production generally increases again in spring and summer, when there is an increase in temperature and daylight hours.
​
Please be sure to use caution when visiting Sheep Pasture in all types of weather. 
We strongly suggest visitors bring water for both pets and people when visiting. Dressing in layers and wearing sturdy walking shoes are recommended. For more information, visit the Sheep Pasture FAQ page.
