The Ripple Effect of Horse Racing in Hardwick with Halley & Curtis Stillman
This episode of Small Town Big Racing in Massachusetts features a discussion with Halley and Curtis Stillman, owners of Still Life Farm, which is located right here in Hardwick, MA.
We explore the impact Commonwealth Equine and Agricultural Center's proposal for a racetrack could have not just on Great Meadowbrook Farm and as it develops the land that falls under APR but also the impact on the town as a whole.
From the development of other properties to the beginning of sports wagering in town and even the proposed Farm to Table Restaurant, Halley and Curtis make it clear that the ripple effects from this proposal will be felt throughout all the villages of Hardwick.
If you are a consumer of local agriculture, are wondering how this could affect you, or are simply uncertain about where you stand, this episode is a great one to listen to.
