WELLSBORO (Tioga Co.)
Sunset Mountains Farm, owned
by Doug and Jenny Lawton and
family, will be the site of the 10th
annual Tioga County Farm City
Day Saturday, July 8.
Farm City Day is a dream
come true for chairperson Sherri
Butters, who wanted to celebrate
the relationship between farm
and nonfarm groups.
“We want to promote a better
understanding of the farmer’s
way of life as well as provide an
opportunity to explore the inter
dependence of farming, the busi
ness community, land use, food
production, and our environ
ment,” said Butters.
Without a host farm, however,
this event could not be possible.
Sunset Mountain Farm is a
340-acre tract of land nestled in

the heart of Tioga County, near
Wellsboro. During the Farm-
City Day event, the farm will be
officially recognized as a Cen
tury Farm. One of the original
tracts of land was purchased in
1887 by Edwin Wilcox, one of
Doug’s ancestors.
After graduating from high
school, Doug began farming with
his parents full time. They even
tually formed a partnership and
the herd size grew in number
from 34 to 55 cows and later to
63 cows.
In 1982, Doug married Jenny,
each bringing two children into
the marriage. Scott works full
time on the farm. Sue, Amy, and
Susie, along with four grandchil
dren, all live close by and help on
the farm when needed.
In 1983 Doug and Jenny
began to purchase the farm from
his parents by buying his father’s

was also active in 4-H Woolies
Club and 4-H livestock
judging.
She would like to show
sheep at local fairs this year,
but isn’t sure how things will
work out because of FFA
leadership demands.
Jen works part-time at the
Ephrata Agway, a job she at
tained through the FFA work
experience project. On the job,
Jen serves as cashier, helps
customers find fertilizer and
other items, and answers
many questions regarding
sheep care.
Jen was accepted at the
Penn State Berks Campus for
a one-year supply of free Exxon
gasoline tickets donated by
Acorn Markets.
The day’s events also include
agricultural demonstrations and
exhibits, old and new machinery
exhibits, contests for young and

“I’m thinking about chang

“FFA has really helped me
with public speaking skills,

animals through FFA. There
are so many opportunities in
FFA and so many career op

“This is my year to give

to represent the entire state’s
