Very cute little farm stand and little entertainment area. I went during October to grab a few pumpkins to carve. They had a great selection at even better prices. The woman working the stand was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.

We stopped over at the bar stand and had a couple of drinks on their picnic tables. Cute fall decor, outdoor lighting, even had a snack stand. I saw a lot of families and young kids running out, very family friendly.

We came here al the time before it had the food, shanty, etc and it was truly a gem. It still is a cute little place. We picked out our pumpkins this weekend and we were waiting by the weight station for some time so we assumed we had to weigh our own pumpkins. After we did that , the older lady finally came out and was quite upset that we did that. We offered to have her re-weigh each of our 30 pound pumpkins but she just sighed and by then we were embarrassed with the way she waves us off. Will probably not go here next time. It's too bad because it used to be a fav..

We thought we were just doing by to pickup a pumpkin, but ended up having a great time. Excellent music, excellent food trucks, excellent playground. The pumpkins of all kinds, gourds and all were much more interesting than your ordinary mundane orange pumpkins. Picked up some great looking ones with character to decorate our house with for the fall season. Looking forward to coming back for other events!

Houlden Farm Stand in North Grafton, MA is a seasonal treasure that excels year-round. Come fall, their pumpkin patch is among the best in the area, making it a must-visit. And when Christmas rolls around, their fresh-cut trees are top-notch. Beyond the seasonal offerings, the stand features a range of locally grown produce, as well as quality goods from other farms. Their selection of meats from Dom's is particularly noteworthy; the steak tips are simply some of the best you'll ever grill. Families with small children will enjoy feeding the goats, adding a fun, interactive touch to the visit. All in all, this farm stand is a neighborhood gem that merits a trip, no matter the season.

Plenty of parking especially during the Shanty weekends. I think honestly… there could be more food trucks or food options. The prices were great tho’. There were beverages for kids and adults but the beautiful table bench umbrella’s don’t help for some reason during peak sun damage time. There’s a chance they may be adjustable to accommodate actual shade but I didn’t see how and didn’t want to ask and hassle anyone. It was SOOOO FUN and I’d definitely go back. Animals to watch, people watching and music. There are plenty of porto-restrooms which is a major plus. 😉
You need to try this place for yourself!!! 🎉 🎶 🐄 The owners do an amazing job with everything-the general produce store in front has great produce, steaks, lemonades and more and for excellent prices. The employees are super nice and helpful. 😀

Went to the Sunflower Shanty at Houldon Farm and it's my first trip to this place ever and all I have to say is... get yourself there!! I had a garden salad and grilled chicken wrap and OH. MY. God. Was it good! Made using ingredients from the farm! Absolutely delicious. I went back up to order a salad to take home! There was live music, corn hole, and plenty of picnic tables... oh, and a little playground area for the kids. Reasonable prices too! I asked if I could come back to walk in the sunflower fields and take a few pictures and they were absolutely accommodating! I'll be back over and over again! Can't wait to tey the fresh picked corn I bought on my way out!

To me and my Grandkid, there were really no activities for them except painting a pumpkin or getting your face painted. About 8 vendors and we didn't see anything pumpkin. It was supposed to be a pumpkin festival. I talked to a lonely cow. Very disappointing. We have Never had to pay to decorate or paint a pumpkin on the past. Granted my G-kids are 10 and 14, but we all were expecting soon much more!

A Grafton must visit. Something for everyone , all seasons. Don’t get sucked into visiting large commercialized farms in the area. Stick to something small and intimate. Did I mention goats? Worth the trip.
