Three years ago, my husband, daughter, and I set off for Gotland island. We were visiting our daughter in Germany, and Gotland was just a short jaunt away. We had just purchased our first Gotland sheep and I wanted to see 100% Gotland sheep in their own environment. I wanted to talk with shepherds that raised them and lay my hands on their silky curls. I can honestly say that it was the most amazing trip of my life. The people we met were all so kind and generous with their time. They welcomed us onto their farms and we shared stories with one another as if an ocean did not separate us. The Gotland sheep were like magical creatures with long ringlets of shiny gray curls. I knew when we left that I would return.
That day has come! I am so excited to be leading a tour group of 12 people to Gotland island the first week of June! We will live on a Gotland sheep farm for a week, take craft lessons from local women, sample Swedish cuisine, and meet with shepherds to learn from them. Why don’t you follow our journey? Follow us on instagram, @vtgrandviewfarm, and this tour will unfold before your eyes. Be sure to follow #Gotlandtour2019 !
