to provide a shared use facility for area producers to use commercial style equipment, teach folk life, agricultural and animal related skills and develop arts and culture programs to build a more sustainable region for Central New England, especially North Central Massachusetts. Our goal is to lower our citizen's carbon footprint, while developing a more sustainable economy and community for this region. We also want to create a "go to" place for interested individuals to learn to make their lives, or their communities more sustainable using long recognized skills and innovative technologies.
