Mission & History

Bramble Hill Farm is a 120 acre former dairy farm in Amherst, MA. The old farm buildings have been carefully renovated during the past ten years to provide living and working spaces for a range of people and projects. The goal of The Foundation and the Farm is to test innovative ways to build a sustainable, healthy, creative farm centered community, accessible to and interactive with the larger community which surrounds it.

Bramble Hill Farm is very much a work in process. Each piece of the Farm has the potential to be developed in a myriad of ways. The form this development takes is determined in large part by the people and enterprises working and living there.

The Farm shares a border with The Common School, a private K -6 elementary school with a curriculum based on “in-depth studies and experiential learning." The Farm welcomes projects and classes from The Hitchcock Center, The Common School, and other groups interested in learning about and creating from its diverse resources.
