Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm

Korea might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think wool sweaters or sheep, and that’s what makes the Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm so interested. Located in the hills of Pyeongchang County in Gangwon Province, the farm — the only one in South Korea — has provided a home to wooly-coated sheep since 1988.
Today, some 200 sheep roam the rolling green plains of the farm, creating an image reminiscent of an alpine village than the Korean countryside. Visitors can stroll a walkway surrounding the grazing field, lined with oak trees and more than 30 varieties of wild flowers, or purchase a basket of hay to feed even more sheep in an indoor enclosure.
An on-site snack stand sells sheep kabobs, but the farm is also an excellent setting for a picnic lunch.

Practical Info

Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm is open throughout the year, but the summer grazing season (June to August) is the best time to visit.
