Perched atop a hill in Chester Springs, overlooking the arborous valleys of Chester County farmland, the Longview Farm sits on 12 acres of wildflower meadows and hardwood forest with a long view of the countryside.
Built in the 1850s and run as a working farm and private retreat for most of its life, the Longview Farm is now a place of creativity, human connection, family building, and environmental awareness. It is a place for the arts and earth communities to come together to escape the hustle and bustle, enjoy nature, find connection, and inspire each other mutually.
The Longview Farm operates year-round and is open to the public for special events, such as festivals and markets, and by reservation for private events. The original hay barn still stands and, since earlier this year, operates officially as the Longview Gallery.
The Gallery features six artist solo shows per year, as well as artisan and craft markets and group shows. The gallery space can also be reserved for private occasions or public workshops and classes. Open House hours are every Sunday from 12-3 PM, and private visits during the week can be arranged.
The Longview Farm provides guests with space for recreation and wellness, baskets for berry picking, and walking paths through the woods and fields around the property. Guests with furry friends are welcome to reserve their time at the farm.
Just a short drive from Marsh Creek, French Creek, and Hibernia State Parks, there are numerous local trails and preserves nearby. The hubbub of neighboring West Chester and Phoenixville makes for a lovely gallery-and-dinner date night.
