Full crowds for Newbury Elementary School Farm and Field Show
The annual ag education and showing program was held on the Newbury Common recently and attracted school kids from the communities of Newbury, Blue Mountain Union, Bradford, Barnet, and Walden.
Volunteers for this long-time program, which was started by Lottie Hannett 10 years ago, brought their animals such as dairy cows, beef cows, working steers, draft horses, alpacas, herding dogs, and a long list of other farm and ag demonstrations to the sunny commons for the public and school kids to enjoy.
Sweet Sunday In Newbury
The open house is set for Sunday, March 22, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the farm’s sugarhouse at 275 Saxie Welch Road, a short distance off Swamp Road. Visitors are invited to drop in, watch maple syrup being made, and enjoy fresh donuts from the Newbury Village Store, topped with maple cream generously donated by Harold Carleton and Cindy Merrill.
