RICHMOND — Ice House Hill Farm, an iconic area known for its natural scenic beauty, has been forever protected.
Berkshire Natural Resources Council and the farm's owners reached a deal to place the farm into the Massachusetts Conservation Restriction program, according to a release from the council.
The farm, home to a herd of Hereford cattle, was once part of the larger Malnati Farm holdings, most of which were previously placed into conservation, the release stated.
“Preserving Ice House Hill Farm is important to ensure that local agriculture remains a strong and significant part of Berkshire culture,” said BNRC President Jenny Hansell. “It has timeless views, rich habitat, and a special place in the hearts of many people who love Richmond and the region.”
