Long View Farm, Recording studio in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, US.
Long View Farm is a recording studio set on a former dairy farm in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, with several recording rooms and on-site living quarters for musicians. The rooms and facilities are spread across the original farm buildings, which now house professional audio equipment alongside the preserved rural structures.
The studio was founded in 1974 by a university professor who wanted to create a recording space away from the city. In the years that followed, it drew a growing number of well-known musicians and became a recognized name in American music production.
The name Long View Farm refers to the open countryside views that still surround the property today. The original farm buildings stand directly alongside the recording spaces, which gives the place a feeling quite different from a city studio.
The studio sits on Stoddard Road in North Brookfield, a rural area best reached by car from nearby towns. With several recording rooms on the property, more than one group can work at the same time, and the on-site lodging makes longer stays easy to plan.
In 1981 the Rolling Stones used the property as a rehearsal base for a major tour, making it one of the most talked-about moments in the studio's history. That stay brought the farm to the attention of musicians and music fans well beyond New England.
