Welcome to Wellscroft Farm

Since 1975, Wellscroft Farm has thrived as one of New England's largest working sheep farms. Over the past thirty years, owner David Kennard, along with his shepherds have brought Wellscroft Farm to where it is today. In 2005, the eleven thousandth lamb was born on the farm, which now consists of a flock of roughly 200 commercial Dorset-Cross ewes. Located in Southwest New Hampshire, in the town of Chesham, Wellscroft Farm has built up its excellence earning it the award of Farm of Distinction in 1999.

In addition to the flock, David raises and trains Border Collies which he uses on the Farm every day. He is also widely known and praised throughout New England for his entertaining and informative herding demonstrations.
