HARVARD — The night before, rain had pounded Old Frog Pond Farm & Studio, soaking orchards and meadows and the roughly 14 acres of wooded paths lined with sculptures: circus animals in a clearing, tiny contemplative figures settled on rocks, a giant spider made from tree branches hanging from a fishing net on the side of a shed.

But in the morning, the wind, which had howled in the treetops all night, purred as sweetly as a kitten and a collection of heart-shaped discs that change color in the light, aptly named “A Jubilation of Hearts,’’ floated on the pond.

In the nearby field, near the road and the sign announcing “Organic, Pick U Own, Raspberries, Peace,’’ a solitary ellipse made of wire and zip ties called “The Egg’’ greeted visitors to the raspberry patch.

“I never imagined a farm,’’ said Linda Hoffman, who bought the property in 2001 and moved there with her three children after her marriage ended. “People said to me, ‘What are you doing?’ But it couldn’t have turned out better.’’

For the past decade, during a monthlong event that celebrates agriculture, art, and community, Hoffman has been sharing what she gained by retreating to the woods: compassion for herself and all life, human and animal; a commitment to nourishing the soil where she grows organic fruit and vegetables; and a way of life focused on giving.

“We care about healing the world, making a difference where we can, and this is what we can offer,’’ she says of the life she has built with her partner, Blase Provitola.

The 10th annual “Around the Pond and Through the Woods’’ features an outdoor collection of more than 20 sculptures made by local artists — including, in a newly made glade, Groton artist Paul Matisse’s “Olympic Bell,’’ a sculpture that graced the entrance to the Acropolis during the 2004 Olympic Games in Greece.

The exhibit will be open to the public on weekends through early October, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an entry fee of $7 per person or $20 for a family.

There will be self-guided walks, a painting workshop, music, African drumming, and opportunities to pick organic raspberries and purchase other fruits and vegetables grown on the farm.

You don’t need to know about art to appreciate the whimsical, reflective, and awe-inspiring sculptures. Nor is it necessary to be adept at identifying plants and birds to enjoy the walk. But expect to be charmed, puzzled, and inspired as you stroll the wide paths and take in the views.

“People come here and just feel a quality of peacefulness,’’ said Hoffman. “Yes, it’s beautiful, but it’s not landscaped, not manicured. . . . It’s kind of messy a little, and they feel our love for this land and how we care.’’

And there are stories everywhere: among the stone pillars of the medicine wheel made by Provitola; embodied in Hoffman’s tiny meditative, Zen figures; and in the “Olympic Bell.’’ Matisse is Hoffman’s former husband and the father of her three children.

“When we separated, I moved to the farm and created a new life here,’’ Hoffman wrote in her blog, posted on the Old Frog Pond Farm & Studio website. “We rarely saw each other, only speaking briefly on the phone when it involved the children. But over the years I think we both felt that our relationship continued, albeit in another form. The arrival of the bell feels like a reunion of the creativity and beauty that we both believe in and shared during our married time together.’’

During the next month, events at Old Frog Pond Farm will reinforce what Hoffman learned after moving to the farm.

Trust the ground under your feet. Listen to the wind. Take comfort in the arms of the trees.

On Sunday, Sept. 4, actor Stephen Collins will present “Unlaunch’d Voices: An Afternoon with Walt Whitman.’’

Later in the month, visitors are invited to a plein air poetry reading by Susan Edwards Richmond, live jazz by The Morningside Studio Jazz Band, African drumming with Moussa Traore & Friends, and a watercolor workshop.

In the clearing made for the “Olympic Bell,’’ shaded by majestic white pines that seem to touch the sky, Hoffman pulls the rope and the bell — more accurately a hammer striking a tuned metal cylinder — exhales a sound that travels like a prayer.

“The dog loves it here. The osprey fly over. And once, a beaver appeared,’’ Hoffman said.
