Kristina and Jūris Milišiūnai sheep farm not only breeds sheep of various breeds (old Lithuanian, German, and Prussian breeds dominate) but also conducts a wide variety of educational activities. The farm has five yurts made of sheep’s wool - each one adapted to some activity, e.g., in one yurt, there is a room prepared for tasting lamb products (by pre-ordering, you can taste products made from lamb and sheep’s milk), a kitchenette, educational activities are held, another has a sauna, and another has an exhibition of lambs collected over the years. At the farm, you can touch the craft of turning sheep’s wool into woollen yarn. In one of the yurts, there are wool carding machines, wool spinning wheels, and later you can wind a roller.
