Lamb or Goat
For Qurbani on Eid Al Adha held at Shepherd’s Touch Farm
For smoother operation, we decided to use online reservations for all 3 days. Walk-ins accepted but not guaranteed as reserved.
Booking for Eid Al Adha
Information
As of 2025, FIRST day of Eid al Adha held at Shepherd’s Touch Farm requires reservation and down payment for animals. (Anyone who reserve for first day, their time that they selected are guaranteed. Anyone who has not reserved for 1st day will not be guaranteed, but can try and come as we have about 70% chance that we might be able to do extra, best before 9am and after 2pm.) SECOND AND THIRD day is walk-ins; no reservation and down payment needed for animals. However, Picnic Ground spots must still be reserved for all Eid days!
WE ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAY! In order to continue providing good service to our many valued customers, we are closed on Sunday. We need a day to rest and recover from the rest of the week. Also, a lot of our extra workers for the Eid are part of the local Amish and Mennonite community, and they don’t work on Sunday.
Shepherd’s Touch Farm is excited to announce that the same activities for the families are still available for 2025 Eid event as in years gone by, including the play area for the children that has ballons, toys, bounce houses, barrel train rides etc.
However, we are needing to make some changes in order to continue to provide them.
We are very limited in space as we can no longer use the neighbor’s field in the front of the creek, therefore we are doing online reservation only and there is a fee for parking and camping, see prices below. (Note to beef customers: beef Qurbani will be held at another location, more info here.)
For Picnic Grounds rental, reservation required for ALL available Eid days. FOR FIRST DAY: $150 for 5 persons/1 vehicle per Picnic Ground per day, $30 for additional person. FOR SECOND AND THIRD DAY: $100 per Picnic Ground, and $20 for additional person. NOTICE: Picnic Grounds are available only to customers that already book for their animal. And for customers that plans to buy animal on second or third day.
For Pavilions rental, $500-$1,200 per day depending on which pavilion, which day and number of persons, for more info ask Amos (see below)
To reserve for Picnic Ground and Pavilions, text 717-438-5505 or email shepherdstouchfarm@gmail.com and ask for Amos, (animal booking required first before Picnic Ground booking). All reservations are subject to unavailability. ALL RESERVATIONS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, except Picnic Ground – in the event of rainy day, Picnic Ground is refundable in only half the amount, and it can be credit toward animal purchase balance.
Burning service for head and feet might be available: $20 per head, and $10 per set of 4 feet, inform clerk upon animal selection for these add-ons. As normal, on first day, we DO NOT skin the heads. Stomach and intestines can be provided for $20.

Eid event from another year
After Eid prayer Habib will slaughter and then cut into medium pieces and put in box with your name and phone number on, and put in cooler, ready for you to pick-up at your time you chose when you book this order! When you arrive, and upon confirmation, you will receive entry ticket. Then someone will direct you to where to get your meat.
For third Eid day – we can cut into smaller pieces instead of medium pieces.
If you want to choose your animal in person or slaughter animal yourself, then use main booking for first day or walk-ins on second day.
