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.

Holiday Artisan Fair
November 16 10:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Our Holiday Artisan Fair was a huge success, with more than 2,000 guests visiting throughout the day and supporting local art, food, farms, and community. It was a truly joyous occasion, with the Old Town Carolers setting the festive vibe while Santa spent the day doing his own shopping and taking photos with children—young and old. The event was a joyful celebration of art, community, and the season, all set against the picturesque backdrop of our orchards. The Country Store was dressed in all her Christmas glory, giving guests a magical place to shop and soak in the wonder of the most festive time of year. |
Visitors got a head start on their holiday shopping and surprised loved ones with unique, handcrafted gifts from talented local artisans and Bolton Spring Farm. The vibrant marketplace featured:
🎶 Professional carolers filling the air with holiday cheer 🍷 Local wines, hot cider, and seasonal treats 🧀 Gourmet food trucks and specialty food vendors 🌾 A curated farmers market offering delicious additions for holiday tables and gift baskets 🔥 Bonfires, live artist demonstrations, and plenty of festive fun 🎟️ A small entrance fee helped support future community events and the preservation of open space. We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this celebration unforgettable. |

The Orchard Bowl Tailgate!
September 14, 21 & 28 We had a great time enjoying the Patriots games with our Bolton Spring Farm community this season at our Orchard Bowl family-friendly tailgate and watch party! It was fun seeing families enjoy perfect fall complement of Pick-Your-Own Apples and catching the game together. It was so much fun, we are turning it into a tradition so we will see you next year in the Orchard for all of the Patriots' 1:00 p.m. games! |
Fall Mushroom Forage
September 28 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. An incredible day of discovery and learning with Rachel Gocklawski, a state-certified mushrooming educator and experienced forager. We found so many different mushrooms and of course, Chaga!

Summer Forage and Mushrooming
On Saturday, August 9, certified forager and educator Rachel Goclawski, led a guided tour of Bolton Spring Farm's orchards and surrounding woodlands to teach guests how to safely identify seasonal wild edibles, medicinal herbs, berries, and even mushrooms, along with tips for preparation, preservation, and their nutritional value.
The event was such a success, we are working on details now for a Fall Mushroom Forage. Stay tuned for more information!

2025 Summer Artisan Fair RecapOn July 20, 2025, Bolton Spring Farm hosted its first-ever Summer Artisan Fair, and what a beautiful day it was! More than 50 artists and artisans from across New England filled the orchard with creativity, craftsmanship, and community spirit.
Guests sipped local wine and refreshing wine slushies from Hardwick Vineyard & Winery, enjoyed personal charcuterie boxes, and browsed thoughtfully curated booths brimming with handmade treasures. The fair also featured live music from Aunt Mimi, fresh farm produce including our signature peaches and blueberries, and even a peek into the Holiday Room for festive finds in the middle of summer. Shoppers strolled the orchard grounds, soaking in the views while connecting with talented makers and discovering unique pieces to take home. With over 1,000 attendees, the Summer Artisan Fair was a joyful celebration of art, food, and farm life , and a wonderful kickoff to what we hope will become a beloved annual tradition at Bolton Spring Farm. |

Artisans of the Summer Artisan Fair
🍷 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! |
