The Bolton Spring Farm family dipped our toes into the world of events in 2025 with our Summer Artisan Fair, Holiday Artisan Fair, and a series of guided forages through our orchards and woodlands. Each gathering was a tremendous success thanks to the incredible support of our community, both the talented artists, vendors, and foraging guides who helped bring these experiences to life, and the many visitors who came out to shop local, explore, and celebrate with us.
Because of that overwhelming support and enthusiasm, we’ve decided to jump in with both feet for 2026. We’re planning a full year of events that will carry us from the quiet magic of winter, through our Pick-Your-Own season, and all the way to next year’s Holiday Artisan Fair and wreath-decorating workshops in December.
We loved seeing people experience our orchard in fresh and meaningful ways, and it inspired us to dream up even more creative opportunities to enjoy the farm, both in the off-season and at the height of harvest.
Check back here often, or follow us on Facebook or Instagram, for updates as new events are announced.
A big, warm thank you to everyone who made this year so special. We can’t wait to make more memories with you in 2026.

Past Events
🍷 Sip & Stroll with Hardwick Vineyard & Winery
We’re thrilled to welcome Hardwick Vineyard & Winery to this year’s Artisan Fair, bringing their handcrafted wines (and famous wine slushies!) to the orchard for a truly refreshing summer treat.
Tucked away on a winding country road near the Quabbin Reservoir, Hardwick Vineyard is a family-run gem rooted in history, community, and a deep love for craft. Their 18th-century restored mansion and hand-built barn set the scene for producing wines as rich in story as they are in flavor. Stop by their stand at the Artisan Fair to sip local favorites, cool down with a wine slushie, and discover a vineyard you’ll definitely want to visit. The Artisan Fair is all about celebrating what makes our region special, and we can’t think of a better pairing than beautiful art, the season's first fresh fruit and vegetables, incredible art, fantastic music, sunshine, and, of course, a glass of wine made with heart. |

🎶 Soak Up the Summer Vibe with Aunt Mimi
|
Aunt Mimi brings the vibe with harmony and heart to the Artisan Fair! They are an up-tempo, acoustic guitar duo performing pop hits with a rock edge.
Aunt Mimi covers material from the present decade to as early as the 1950s. They combine harmony singing, varied guitar arrangements, and a wide range of styles in a way that keeps audiences listening and anticipating the next tune. Aunt Mimi's overall sound incorporates American rock ballads, British pop, and country. They’re the kind of band that makes you say “I love this song!” over and over! |
