“Niebüll’s sheep day” is the motto of an action day all about sheep, lambs and their products on June 16, 2023 from 11:00 to 21:00 on Niebüll’s town hall square. The Niebüll town marketing department, the Nordfrieslamm project of the Nordfriesland business development agency and regional suppliers will be organizing a colourful programme on this day based around the woolly ambassadors of North Friesland. Of course, the Lamb Queen and the Lamb Princess will also be there. There is a lot to see, feel, taste and find out. Instead of an opening with many speeches, we would like to hold a relaxed “Schafen Schnack” at the information stand of the Nordfrieslamm project at 11.30 a.m., to which we would like to cordially invite you.

Our “Nordfrieslamm” campaign aims to make the dyke sheep and its indispensable use on the dykes around the North Sea more visible and give it greater appreciation. The project of Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Nordfriesland mbH involves sheep farms, dairies, farm stores and restaurants in the region. In this way, the regional “sheep” suppliers can promote the common cause and support each other when it comes to marketing the diverse products of the woolly dyke dwellers.
