Long View Farm is a suburban “hobby farm” located in Simsbury, CT.
We raise chickens and ducks, and grow numerous flowers and vegetables (including over a dozen varieties of hot pepper).
When we aren’t actively growing, we are thinking about what to grow next!


"Like Jack of the fairy tale, I kept my seeds in the house overnight...Why should I be amazed by a computer or a CAT scanner or an astronaut? What are they to a sliver of inert matter that contains within it the history of the world and the generations to come, as well?"
Richard Goodman, "French Dirt"



Giovanni Stanchi (Rome c. 1645-1672)

Watermelons, peaches, pears and other fruit in a landscape.
