It’s that time of year again, and we can hardly wait. The super extravaganza known as The New York State Sheep and Wool Festival is back in 2021. Okay, so we just call “Rhinebeck” because, after all, it’s tons easier than remembering the acronym. But it’s here!
Running up and down the aisles of the livestock barns was one of the joys of our filming lives, and the people we spoke with were fascinating. One of those moments was our conversation with Kim and Jack Mastrianni from Maple Frost Farm in Langdon, New Hampshire. Not only was Jack wearing a deliciously chunky sweater (do not touch the personal textiles, Elara), but Kim has a history connection that is truly something to speak about. And, of course, there was that gorgeously soft and fluffy Leicester Longwool sheep standing there. That one was safe to pet, even if the sweater wasn’t.
We’re whetting your appetite by bringing you a podcast that will help tide you over until October 16th and 17th, when Rhinebeck comes alive in the virtual realm - and in-person. You bet your sheep it does.
