Barstow's Longview Farm

Barstow’s Longview Farm’s motto is “Looking Forward Since 1806.”  Words that have been established in our sixth and seventh generation family business for over 200 years.  The farm is situated in a small picturesque hamlet called “Hockanum” which has been designated a National Historic District on Route 47, a Historic Scenic Byway in Hadley, Massachusetts.

Barstow’s Longview Farm is home to 600 dairy cattle. We are Cabot AgriMark Co-op member-owners. The milk produced on the farm is sold wholesale and turned into Cabot butter, local milk, and delicious dairy products used throughout the region. We operate five robotic milkers to milk our herd and bring the farm into the next phase of its future.

The farm has an anaerobic digester that uses cow manure and organic food waste to produce electricity for 1,600 homes.  The digested material is used as a natural fertilizer on the 450 acres of land we farm for forage for our animals.  The farm also sells compost in bag and bulk to local gardeners.

In 2008, the Barstow family stabilized the future of the operation by opening Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery on a parcel of land in front of the barns with a gorgeous view of the land that we farm.  It is with a continued deep commitment to the land and the environment that we not only “went retail” but also “opened up” our farm to interface more with the public. Visit the farm stand for light breakfast, homemade lunch, ice cream, produce, local crafts, and of course a delicious bakery selection.
