Some of the shepherds will stay all day long out with their herds, eating and sleeping out on the hills of South Hebron.
Shepherding
Our historic shepherding lifestyle is part of what grounds us in our land and history here. It is a beautiful sight to see the South Hebron Hills as a shepherd sees them, a large, open landscape of rolling hills, distant communities, and open sky.
Join us for our shepherding experience, where we provide you with an early morning breakfast to prepare you for the day out, then send you off with the shepherds to spend four to six hours traveling around two to three kilometers to graze the sheep and goats.
We will provide light snacks, tea, and water for you throughout the day as we share stories of our history and teach you how to shepherd the animals

Your day out on the trails of the South Hebron Hills will bring you to a better understanding of an altogether different way of life, learning how to make it through the day in the hot weather, building fires out in the open, and discovering how to take care of hundreds of goats and sheep.
