Farmapalooza Returns to Silverwood Organic Farm, Sherborn

Sherborn, MA — Silverwood Organic Farm invites the community to come together for a day of music, food, and farm fun at the 2nd Annual Farmapalooza. The family-friendly music and farm festival will take place on Sunday, June 1st from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. at 195 Western Avenue, Sherborn.

The farm fields will come alive with live music from eight local bands, hands-on farm activities for all ages, and flavorful offerings from some of the area’s favorite food and drink purveyors. Set against the backdrop of open fields, a big red barn, and a high-peak canopy tent, Silverwood Organic Farm provides a picture-perfect setting for a day of fresh air and outdoor adventure.

This year’s music lineup features an exciting mix of Farmapalooza first-timers, returning favorites, and a wide variety of musical styles. School of Rock from Natick brings youthful energy and talent; Postage Due from Medfield keeps the rhythm lively with an upbeat jazz performance; and Dover-based TBD the band and Dover Demons are back by popular demand, ready to rock the farm once again. Sherborn’s own Rebel Beets and B&R will deliver a set of crowd-pleasing rock and pop favorites. Some Assembly Required, a high-spirited teen rock band from Wellesley High School, and Boston-based solo artist Ian Ostberg round out the lineup with fresh local sound and strong stage presence. All performances are included with admission.

Beyond the music, families will find plenty to explore. Kids can climb aboard for John Deere tractor rides, enjoy classic outdoor lawn games, get their faces painted by the talented and town-favorite Sybil Kaplan, and make friendship bracelets and plant seeds to take home. Visitors can also walk among antique John Deere tractors and take a farmer-led tour to learn what’s growing in the fields and greenhouses. For those with green thumbs, Silverwood’s Certified Organic Seedling Sale is the perfect opportunity to stock up on summer garden favorites — and connect with the gardening experts from Peas, Love & Parsley, who make growing your own vegetables at home fun, easy, and rewarding.

Back by popular demand, Sherborn’s Good As New Shop - a longtime community favorite that’s been serving the town since 1962 - will be at Farmapalooza with a selection of jewelry, clothing, and unique small items. And don’t miss @farmgirl.foodie, a Boston-based content creator who grew up on the farm, sharing her favorite Boston recs, healthy lifestyle tips, fun giveaways, and a taste of her farm-to-city inspiration.

Food and drink will be available for purchase from a variety of local favorites, including Braised Food Truck (low and slow braised tacos and bowls), Eastleigh Farm’s ice cream truck (locally made small-batch ice cream), Crafted Beer & Wine (Holliston-based shop with a carefully selected lineup of craft brews and wines), and sweet treats from Big Little Pies, known for their handmade mini pies full of flavor and joy.

Festival-goers can also purchase farm-sourced seasoning herb blends from Salty Mamina, and enjoy offerings from Buttercup and The Farmhouse Restaurants, two celebrated local eateries known for their commitment to organic and local sourcing. Also on the farm will be Sherborn’s own Nutty Bird Granola, with their signature handcrafted mix of nuts and oats, sweetened with maple syrup and honey.

Tickets are available now and priced affordably to keep this community event accessible for all: $5 for children, $10 for adults. Admission includes access to all live music, farm activities, games, and crafts. Proceeds help offset event costs and support local musicians, farmers, and local charities that are especially meaningful to our farm and community.
