Benton Family Farm primarly grows pumpkins and opens to school field trips in the spring and fall. Head on out to a real working farm for 4 generations now. We grow 14 acres of pumpkins for our u-pick operation. We take people to the fields and they carry out what pumpkins they want to purchase.We also have plenty of barnyard animals to see and pet. We have goats, sheep, dairy cattle, rabbits, ducks, pigs, horses and guineafowl. At our farm you won' t find commericalism since opened we have strived to keep our same family working farm image as we are. We have plenty of farm family fun on Sat and Sun in October. Admission to farm is charged. Pumpkins are charged just by size not the pound!
Spring school field trips start the last week of April and in May. O
