Newfields Farm Hosts Dinner and a Sheep Show

NEWFIELDS__Vernon Family Farm is hosting Dinner and Sheep Show this Friday with a demonstration by nationally recognized sheepdogs from Heart Stone Farm.

Tim Molinero and his wife Lisa, who operate the Milton, NH sheep farm, will hold two shows in Newfields on October 4. The first will go from 4:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. and the second from 6:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.

“Watching the dogs work is incredible,” said Nicole Vernon, who owns the farm with her husband Jeremiah. “Tim directs the dog and Lisa announces what is happening so that the public can learn as they watch.”

Heart Stone Farm’s lamb, a specialty heritage breed called Gulf Coast Sheep, is sold in the Vernon Family Farm store. The farm’s border collies have been nationally recognized for their herding.

As part of the event, Vernon Family Farm will have their Wicked Chicken Rotisserie available starting at 4 p.m. Their Wicked Chicken events are BYO everything but alcohol and chicken. The farm provides paper products and biodegradable cutlery. Friday’s special event will run from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. Children are free and there is a $10 cover charge for adults.

Vernon Family Farm is located at 301 Piscassic Road in Newfields, where their farm store is open daily from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. for local food shopping. All events are weather dependent, and updates or cancellations will be posted on their Facebook https://www.facebook.com/vernonfamilyfarm/ and Instagram pages.
