Ambrook Research

Ambrook Research creates original articles and studies that focus on the challenges facing today's agriculture sector. Our aim is to explore how farmers are establishing successful and environmentally friendly businesses, as well as how global and national economic shifts impact farming practices. We prioritize topics that resonate with farmers, industry professionals, and anyone interested in agriculture. We also encourage both brief and detailed pieces that explain new agricultural research. A strong article from Ambrook Research combines data with engaging storytelling. We strive to ensure that every narrative is supported by solid industry data. An effective profile illustrates how the experiences of a specific farmer or agricultural expert relate to larger trends, while long-term trend analyses help readers grasp the human consequences of these shifts. Potential topics for submission to Ambrook Research might include the consolidation of meat packing, innovations in fertilizer use, the difficulties of urban farming, or how supply chain disruptions influence commodity crop pricing. We appreciate writing that delves into the reasons behind events, not just the events themselves, and seeks to present multiple perspectives. Our goal is to foster a tone of true curiosity and openness about the agricultural landscape. All accepted submissions undergo a collaborative editing process, and we offer competitive compensation based on the scope and nature of the work. Ambrook Research editors are available to assist writers in sourcing and identifying relevant data for their stories when needed. Ambrook Research is part of Ambrook, a company dedicated to making sustainability financially viable in natural resource sectors, beginning with innovative financial tools for farmers.

May 3, 2024 | ambrook.com | Sara Murphy

Stephenville High School senior and FFA (formerly Future Farmers of America) member Charleigh Feuerbacher does not come from a traditional farming background.

When Rebecca Beyer saw her Unitarian Sunday school teacher take a bowl of dough and toss it into the woods of Princeton, New Jersey, she was entranced. “I felt a deep excitement and resonance watching her,” she recalls. Her teacher explained that she was making an offering to the four directions, a practice associated with pagan and Native American traditions. At 12 years old, it was Beyer’s first introduction to magic — and she has never looked back.
Not Your Grandpa’s Haunted Hayride

“I love to stand in the woods and listen to the people screaming.”For Randy Bates (no relation to Norman), owner and managing director of the Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride, that screaming is the payoff. Last year, for its 33rd season, 60,000 people came to his family’s working Arasapha Farm in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, to experience the attraction’s 125 actors prowling 25 sets for victims.

Sarah Lasswell initially planted willow in 2018 to prevent erosion in one of the bottom fields of her North Carolina flower farm, Moss & Thistle. A year later, however, she came across an image of a woven willow casket on social media. “Gobsmacked” is how she described her reaction. “That saying goodbye to someone could be done in such a beautiful, loving, natural way was just a revelation,” she said.
It’s a Beautiful Day in the Agrihood

Oct 4, 2023 | ambrook.com | Sara Murphy

When Arizona native and former farmer Kelly Saxer was ready to reenter the agricultural world after having a child, she reached out to a workplace with a rather dreamy name: Agritopia. Founded in 2005, the 160-acre community in Gilbert, Arizona, is located on a former farmstead and is the result of a collaborative effort between the Johnston family, the town, and developers. For residents, Agritopia essentially offers a farm in your own backyard — while someone else does the work of farming it.
From Fieldworkers to Farm Owners

Sep 1, 2023 | ambrook.com | Sara Murphy

Whenever Delia Jovel places her hands in the soil at Tierra Fértil Coop, the worker-owned one-acre farm she founded three years ago in Henderson County, North Carolina, she feels connected to her late father, a farmer in their native El Salvador. “Farming, it’s a legacy,” she said. Growing traditional food like tomatillos and cilantro is also a way for Jovel to literally root herself in her second homeland. “As an immigrant, it’s hard to be able to have that feeling of belonging,” she said.

Myron Edwards’ Clover Hill Farm in Cleveland County, North Carolina, has seen a lot of change over the 160 years that his family has owned it. Before Edwards took over the farm from his ailing father in the ‘70s, the business had transitioned from a cotton cash crop to beef cattle, soybeans, and grains. From an original size of about 1,000 acres, the land at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains was steadily sold off until it reached its current size of 192 acres.
