Like all farms, our farm changes seasonally from springtime shearing season to summertime when we welcome new babies to winter when the alpacas are at their fluffiest! In addition to tours, we offer alpaca yoga sessions, alpaca agisting (boarding), shearing services, stud services from our award winning males, and mentoring to up-and-coming alpaca farm owners. We also alpaca-assisted therapy services (both on-farm and off-farm). In our Alpaca Shop, you will find a wide range of alpaca products from items made on the farm to wonderful, Massachusetts made products from the New England Alpaca Fiber Pool to items imported from Peru, the original home of the alpaca.

Visit our website for more information. We look forward to welcoming you to our historic General Store and restaurant at the foot of the common.
Harvard Maple producers
Maple Syrup Producers
Nestled in the valley between winter and spring lies maple sugaring season. When the sun of the coming spring warms the cold mornings. At Harvard Maple Producers, a small family operation, sap is gathered by hand and boiled over a wood fired arch, to produce what we feel is the essence of springtime. Assorted grades and sizes are sold at Westward Orchards Farm Store on rte. 111 here in Harvard.
Old Frog Pond Farm
Roadside Stand • Produce • Farm Tours • Pick Your Own
Old Frog Pond Farm is one of the few Certified Organic Orchards in Massachusetts. In the fall we open for pick your own apples and raspberries. In the spring we open our self-serve farm stand with greens and early season vegetables. We host an Annual Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit, present workshops, and gather for Plein Air Poetry and other community events. Blase Provitola and Linda Hoffman are the farmers. Our growing philosophy can be summed up as ‘Feed the Soil, Heal the Earth.’ We believe that healthy soils produce the most nutrient rich food. Our work begins in the soil. We support the farmers ‘underground’—the bacteria, fungi, earth worms, and other creatures who support our plants. We apply foliar sprays of seaweed and a host of minerals. We activate our plants' immune system with nettle, equisetum, and comfrey teas made from these beneficial herbs that grow in abundance on the farm. The farm has been certified organic since 2006. Art is also an important part of life at Old Frog Pond Farm. Orchardist Artist Linda Hoffman’s studio is here and her art as well as sculptures by other New England artists are installed in the farmscape. The farm sends out a “Poem of the Month” to subscribers, participates in Bolton/ Harvard’s Open Studios, and Hoffman writes a weekly blog, “Apples, Art, and Spirt.” Check our website for our everchanging activities and offerings and plan a visit!
