Located just 30 miles from downtown Boston, the Museum offers guests the chance to enjoy the natural beauty of rural Massachusetts in a convenient and accessible setting. Guests are immediately welcomed with stunning views of local orchards, hay fields, and hardwood forests as they enter the Museum from the road atop Prospect Hill.

    Fruitlands Café

    OPENING DATE: Saturday, April 14

    The Fruitlands Museum Café focuses on locally-sourced, sustainable cuisine that is reflective of the heritage of New England. The cafe is conceived, planned, and run almost exclusively by chefs, cooks, servers and managers from our sister restaurant, the Gibbet Hill Grill. Since the Grill is not open to the public for lunch, we felt that this would be the perfect complement to our organization. We source our ingredients from local farms such as Gibbet Hill Farm in Groton and Verrill Farm in Concord.

    Reservations are accepted for parties of five or more
    please call (978) 456-3924 x2.

    Group Reservations: We are happy to accommodate larger groups for lunch.  For more information on lunch groups over 20 guests or regarding private events, please email timh@fruitlandsevents.com or call (978) 944-9799.

    Meet the Team

    • Tim Holmes, Director of Sales and Events

      Tim is a graduate of The University of Vermont and he began his career in hospitality while coordinating weddings and other off-site catered functions on Lake Champlain after college. Tim learned of Fireside Catering through his passion for amazing food and local sourcing which brought him to Massachusetts in 2011 to join the Webber Restaurant Group as an Assistant Manager at the Scarlet Oak Tavern, our restaurant on the South Shore. He knew his dedication was geared more towards catered events and began working as an Event Manager for Fireside Catering in the summer of 2012, and soon after the end of that season he took on the role as the Director of Catering and Sales at Fruitlands Museum. His dedication to his many clients, knowledge of food and detailed eye make Tim a valuable member of Fireside Catering and the Webber Restaurant Group.

    • Karen Osterberg, Café Manager and Executive Chef

      Karen received her culinary degree from Newbury College in 1997 and since worked in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.  She came to Gibbet Hill as Executive Banquet Chef in the spring of 2005 and after a four hour interview with the Webber family in which she spilled her entire life story and, somewhat incredibly, was still offered the job.   During her time at the Barn, Karen has guided run-away cattle back to their field, taken several close up pictures of the resident red-tail hawk, yet to this day, has not seen the rumored Gibbet Hill “ghost”.   She has been an invited chef to the Master’s Tournament in Augusta, Georgia since 2007.
