Faces of Massachusetts Agriculture

Glen and Karen Cook

Cider Hill Farm, Amesbury

Cider Hill Farm is owned and operated by Glen and Karen Cook who in 1978 bought the farm adjacent to Glen’s parents’ farm in Amesbury to fulfill their dream of turning it into an apple orchard. Today, three generations tend to the daily chores on their 145 acre farm. The Cook’s innovative approaches in regards to labor, marketing, season extension, community involvement, and progressive practices to be found in their renewable energy projects make them true pioneers in the agricultural community. www.ciderhill.com.
