One of Salt Spring’s favourite annual events is taking place right on schedule, with Ruckle Heritage Farm Day on Sunday, May 3.
Running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the free event features all kinds of demonstrations, adorable farm animals plus various vendors, displays and demonstrations.
People can learn how soap is made, butter is churned and how blacksmiths ply their trade. Sheep herding and shearing demonstrations are always a big hit, and kids of all ages can try their hand at log sawing and nail hammering, and enjoy the fish pond game or getting their face painted.
Live music comes courtesy Marianne Grittani, Valdy and Rose Birney.
Everything is free of charge except for food, drinks and gift items. Some food vendors take credit cards but bringing cash is recommended.
As Ruckle Farm is a working farm, no dogs are allowed on site.
People can also call Abey Scaglione at 250-526-0096 or email abey@ruckleheritagefarm.com with any questions about the event.
