Part of our mission here at Harvest Café is to provide a community space for local artists. Beginning modestly in 2003, we hosted literature readings for Hudson High School’s Creative Writing class. Since then Harvest Café has expanded its offerings, including art exhibits and openings, poetry, and musical performances.  Please stop by the Café and support the local arts scene, from our music schedule to visual arts exhibits.

Our Monthly Wine Night at Harvest Cafe is back for 2010.

Originally established on the 4th Thursday of the month,   There is room for 18-24 people who will sit informally in the lounge each month for our new wine seminar.  We have partnered with Michael Hynes from Bacon's Wine and Spirits and our local wine reps. to present the seminars and to make many of our wines available for retail purchase.  Look for future joint ventures with Bacon's down the road.

Call 978-567-0948 and reserve a spot for the Fourth Thursday of the Month, we begin at 7:00pm in the Lounge. We are often joined by our dedicated wine reps. Chef Pippa and our kitchen always whip up fabulous seasonal foods to go with the wine, and you get all that for a mere $25! Come join the fun.  Sign up early, only 25 seats available.   The Next wine club nights are January 28th and February 25th.  In March we are joining Bacon's and other local merchants to do a major wine tasting/fundraiser.  Stay tuned for more info....
