As the days begin to stretch and the light softens over the hills, we find ourselves looking ahead to another season at Clausen Farm.
There is a particular kind of anticipation that comes with spring in Sharon Springs, not loud or hurried, but gradual. The landscape opens again. The air shifts. And the rhythm of the region returns.
A Landscape That Invites You In
Set within the rolling countryside of upstate New York, Clausen Farm is surrounded by a quiet beauty that reveals itself slowly — in morning mist across the fields, in long golden evenings, in the stillness that feels increasingly rare.
Just a short drive away, Glimmerglass State Park offers one of the area’s most beloved escapes. Overlooking Otsego Lake, the park is known for its open shoreline, shaded picnic areas, and seasonal swimming – a simple pleasure that defines summer here.
A Season of Music, Culture, and Gathering
Summer in Sharon Springs carries its own rhythm shaped by community, music, and small but meaningful gatherings.
The Klinkhart in the Park Summer Series brings Wednesday evenings to life at Chalybeate Park, with live performances ranging from jazz and swing to Americana and bluegrass. These open-air concerts invite both locals and visitors to gather, linger, and enjoy the ease of a summer evening.
Just beyond, the renowned Glimmerglass Festival returns for its 2026 season, offering a rich program of opera and musical performances throughout the summer – a cultural anchor for the region and a rare opportunity to experience world-class work in an intimate setting.
Throughout the season, Sharon Springs continues its tradition of local events, from seasonal festivals and markets to longstanding community celebrations that reflect the character of the village.
A Village in Renewal
Sharon Springs has always been a place of reinvention. A historic spa village with layers of history still visible in its architecture and atmosphere.
This season brings a renewed energy.
The historic American Hotel has reopened its restaurant and pub, welcoming guests once again for dinner, brunch, and a gathering place at the heart of the village.
It is part of a broader, ongoing revival — one that continues to draw artists, visitors, and those seeking a quieter, more grounded experience of place.
A Place to Return To
At Clausen Farm, the season ahead is not about spectacle, but about presence.
Time moves differently here. Mornings arrive gently. Evenings linger. And between them, there is space to rest, to reconnect, to simply be.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
