Celebrate the grit and joy of ranch work!

Flock Together Festival returns to Ridgewood Ranch in Willits, California on April 25, 2026, inviting the greater community to step inside a living, working ranch for a celebration of sheep and agrarian culture. Centered around sheep shearing, Flock Together blends the grit of agricultural work with the joy of community gathering, featuring fiber arts, farmers’ market, sheep dog demonstrations, grain threshing and pancake flipping, live music, and hands-on activities for all ages.

Following a wildly successful inaugural year in 2025, the festival is expanding through Ridgewood Ranch’s historic Dairy Barn Complex, featuring barns from the Seabiscuit era through the 1960s. Guests are encouraged to get their hands dirty, ask questions, and experience our farmers and ranchers in their natural habitat with artists and musicians weaving throughout. Flock Together Festival is an energetic, immersive reminder that agriculture is not only work, but culture.
