Amethyst Farm, Bueno y Sano success story
In Amherst, one location is creating a full spectrum of agricultural connections through partnerships and collaboration. Amethyst Farm is a lot of things, a working horse farm, a budding nut orchard, a produce farm, but at the core of this complex of land-workers is a look to ecology and biodiversity unlike what we’ve seen before. We meet owners and evolutionary biologists, Bernard and Patricia Brennan, and hear how their non-farm work has influenced their vision for what the land can become.
