Come learn about the role that Border Collies Poe and Cap play on Morse Brook Farm. Watch the dogs work sheep, learn about the history of various breeds and their roles in helping farm. Morse Brook Farm couldn't do what they do without the dogs! Afterwards, try the farm's maple syrup over ice cream - yum!

Notes:

  • Herding events are early in the morning or later in the day so that the sheep and dogs don't overheat. 
  • GPS sometimes lists location as Putney VT. It's the same place!

Cost: Please consider donating $5 - 10 to help support the farm. No registration necessary.
