Special Celebrations
Arrive anytime during these events.
April is Earth Month at the Farm Stand
Every day is Earth Day at Earthbound Farm. This year, throughout the month of April, we're sharing lots of information that we all can use to live more lightly on the planet — and each week, we're donating 5% of Farm Stand sales to a different environmentally focused nonprofit organization. On April 19, in honor of Earth Day, we'll open our event season with farm tours and games. Join us to learn how organic farming produces delicious, healthy food and protects our environment. April 19. 11am–3pm. Rain cancels.
Raspberry Revelry Free Admission!
Join our midsummer celebration of the sweet crop that got us started over 24 years ago! Enjoy delicious organic raspberry treats from our kitchen, plus cooking demos, games, farm tours, train rides, and more. June 28. 11am–3pm.
Corn Crazy Celebration
Free Admission!
It's the grand opening of our organic corn maze! We're crazy about corn, so we're having a corn husk doll workshop, a corn-on-the-cob eating contest, farm tours, and more. Don't miss the fun! August 30. 11am–3pm.
Harvest Festival Free Admission!
Bring the whole family to our grand harvest celebration. We'll turn the Farm Stand into a pumpkin-packed wonderland for a great fun-filled day on the farm, with games, pumpkin carving demos, squash and pumpkin tastings, music, farm tours, train and hay rides, and more! October 18. 11am–3pm.
