Double Edge is located in Ashfield, Massachusetts, where it operates the Farm, a rich environment for both experiential learning and performance on 105 acres of historic buildings, forests, pastures and organic gardens. After 12 years based in Boston, Double Edge acquired the Farm with the idea of creating a self-sufficient artists' haven, in which the concept of 'living culture' could be pursued. Transcending the common notion of art as a commodity or one-time entertainment, 'living culture' embraces art as a vital and essential part of a community's life. Since the opening of the Farm Center in 1997, Double Edge has presented its own performances, hosted international artists and groups, and held discussions and symposia.

The Farm Center consists of:

• Housing for 11 full-time ensemble members, resident artists, and apprentices, and up to 30 students and guests;
• 18^th century out-buildings, historic farm/carriage houses
• In-town 10-room guest house
• Two performance and rehearsal spaces
• Pavilion with multi-function as lobby/martial arts studio/ art gallery/ theatre archive/ concert hall
• 105 acres of rolling hills, streams, forests
• Swimming pond
• Herb and vegetable garden and farm
