From 1980 to 2012 the land was owned and operated by a group called the Zen Peace Makers lead by Bernie Glassman.

In 2012 the farm was bought by Bill and Beth Jacobson of Shelburne Falls, MA. There Jacobson's started the Montague Retreat Center, an eco-friendly resort and retreat center, by rebuilding the now century old farm house and barn, and revitalizing the land. Using the natural beauty of this land, MRC is now offering retreats in everything from to meditation to yoga, political activism, organic farming, dance and music. Bill also managed to persuade town to change the zoning laws for the farm, so that it be made available for all events, outside of the original laws constraining the land to be used solely for educational and religious purposes, so it is available to rent for groups and corporations of all kinds to come and experience this environmentally friendly and special place.
