In 2024, the regenerative agriculture consulting firm Understanding Ag, LLC, and Green River Regenerative Farm, Inc., the new owners of the farm, created the joint venture, Green River Regenerative, LLC, to establish a high-level, regenerative agricultural education and training program and to expand the farm’s regenerative cropping and livestock production systems. The joint venture leases the farm from its current owners and manages the farm’s day-to-day operations. Both joint venture partners will share in the resulting farm production profits, once production is underway.

The 235-acre farm, formerly known as Modern Dairy, the Langer Farm, and Green River Farms, is on land which was used in part for farming and as hunting grounds by the Mohican people and was later settled by former British soldiers garrisoned at Fort Massachusetts and Fort West Hoosac. The farm lies in the western shadow of Mount Greylock, highest point in the state of Massachusetts, and has the Green River running through it on its way north to the Hoosick River, which eventually meets the Hudson River. The history of agriculture in this area, the Berkshires of Massachusetts, is largely rooted in wool and dairy production along with leather, timber, spinning, and cheese. The value-added products were transported west to the Hudson River, only 30 miles away, providing a conduit to the major markets of Albany and the upper Hudson Valley.

The mission of Green River Regenerative, LLC, is to establish a profitable working-farm which serves as a viable demonstration model and learning center for regenerative agriculture students and practitioners predicated on the Six Principles of Soil Health and Three Rules of Adaptive Stewardship harnessing the Four Ecosystem Processes™ (6-3-4™), and to validate through research, the ecological, economic and human/community health benefits of soil health improving regenerative agriculture principles and practices.
