The Farm at SummitWynds, 69 Summit Street, Jefferson (Holden), MA 01522

2023 Unicorn Experience

ARE YOU A GOOD FIT?

As our Farm aims to celebrate the beauty of unicorns, lavender and homegrown agriculture in New England, our goal for the marketspace at each event is to create a space filled with artisanal goods, quality ingredients, and high-end unique finds.

Last July, attendance for our Unicorn Event has ranged upwards of 1,000 visitors and pre-sold tickets sold out. We want to give all our attendees the full experience of our amazing artisan crafters.

Examples of our ideal vendors include:

• Handmade jewelry
• Fresh flower/plant products
• Upscale handmade home décor and accessories
• Food related items for guests to take home such as spices, oils, syrups, etc. (Please note that we are not looking for food vendors to sell meals or beverages to our guests.)
• Artwork
• Handmade clothing
• Fiber creations
• Handmade outdoor décor

Items/services that will not be considered:

• MLM companies
• Store-bought products that vendor is trying to resell
• Offensive items
• Services unrelated to our mission

A Review from one of our 2022 Vendors

This weekend I did a 2 day show, The Marketplace at the Unicorn Experience, the farm at Summitwynds, Holden, MA.

Fee for 2 days was very reasonable, you had to do both days. It was was very well run and organized. There were about 12 – 18 vendors, not including the food trucks. Space was 10 x 10, with maybe an extra 4′ in front of tent before walkway/driveway area, that was useable.

Ticket for attending this event were only available via presale. Both days were sold out. 400 people each day.

I did very well, almost 10X my booth fee. I can not speak for others. I feel farm venues are my niche, as I sell children’s clothing and accessories.

They have 3 themed events per year. (June, July and August). Next year I will do all 3. I already have an event on 1 of the days for August. I do plan on bringing my granddaughter to it to check it out, It will be the butterfly event!

It was a great weekend! Looking forward to next year!
