DOGGIE HAMLET, 4:30PM and 7:00PM, DARTMOUTH GREEN

This meditative, largely wordless spectacle weaves together dance, theater and the eloquent art of sheepherding. Known for award-winning, one-of-a-kind works in unconventional settings, Carlson here is freely inspired by David Wroblewski’s best-selling 2008 novel The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Kipling’s The Jungle Book. Humans, sheep (from Strafford resident Stephen Wetmore) and several finely trained sheepdogs collaborate on choreography composed of everyday movement and the herd’s swoops and flourishes against the green backdrop. This event is FREE and open to the public. Between the two performances, join us on the Hop patio for spinning, weaving, carding and felting demonstrations, hosted by local wool fiber artisans!

DARTMOUTH ORGANIC FARM PICNIC PAVILION RAISING VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! VARIOUS SHIFTS, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY

This summer we are kicking off the season by building a new timber framed picnic pavilion area! This roughly 25' x 40' open air structure will provide sun/rain shelter & seating space for classes, student events, and dog walkers & vista viewers.  The pavilion will be located between the big white barn & the old pizza oven which has fallen into disrepair. This past spring, an engineering class designed a new pizza oven for the farm and we can’t wait to test it out and enjoy fresh cooked pizza, farm fresh salad, and all of your company in our new space. 

We are currently looking for some volunteers to help out with this project! We will need: 

Thursday 6/29: Raising of structure with crane

• 6 students to help out in shifts to put together bents, move scaffolding, etc. 

Friday 6/30:

• 12 volunteers to help out in shifts throughout the day, installing all the roof boards, the underlayment (topguard) and the roof metal, plus all the chain hardware that keeps it tight. 

Saturday 7/1:

• 4-6 volunteers needed to help finalize site work, pack up scaffolding, seed or mulch bare patches, set up for kick off pizza event, move picnic tables, pizza oven etc.

 We will be having a pizza party to christen the new oven on Saturday evening, so come help out for a few hours on Thursday, Friday or Saturday and reap the rewards of your hard work with a delicious slice of freshly made pizza on Saturday! SIGN UP FOR A SHIFT HERE. RIDES PROVIDED!
