Benton Family Farm

Benton Family Farm a nonprofit 501c3 also known as Benton Farm Agricultural Learning Center! A teaching and working farm for all ages. Donations of any kind are appreciated and tax deductible. We are open to school field trips in the spring and fall and offer facilities for rentals for weddings, farm birthday parties, reunions and other gatherings. We also come to your school or event with our mobile Ag trailer! Private tours and company events from 2 to 500 available just email to schedule.

We grow 6 acres of pumpkins for our fall school field trip program. We also do a hayride to the real pumpkin patch and teach the children about all the farm animals! We have Highland Cows, goats, sheep, dairy cows, rabbits, ducks, pigs, horses, donkey, and guinea fowl. At our farm you won't find commercialism! Since our Grandparents, we have striven to keep our working family farm image as we are. We have plenty of farm family fun anytime of the year, just call to schedule a tour or event. Admission is charged for farm tours. All private family tours or events must be booked on bentonfarm.com

Spring school field trips start the last week of April and in May. On a spring tour we tour the farm and visit with all the barnyard animals, gather the eggs, take a hayride and we will be learning about shearing the sheep. Cow milking depends on if cow is fresh. And planting seeds. Children will have the chance to actually shear a sheep. We also have a short lesson on how to be a honey bee keeper and see all the equipment used by our beekeeper! We also offer a special lesson on vet care and How to be a Vet!

Farm Summer day camp is a huge success if your child loves the outdoors and animals, we offer an exceptional opportunity! We have repeat campers to where they go to being Jr Counselors and then to employed Sr Counselors! "That was the best day of my life" as many campers say on their first day of camp, Friday he was already checking to see if we had room for him to come the next session! Small numbers of children, experienced staff, fun and educational all in one! We?re not about the number of campers we actually limit to the first 45 per week. Each child 5-13 yrs old has their own Jr and Sr counselor and team throughout the 2 day session. 9:45 am to 2:45 pm it will be 3pm before you leave as the children love for the parents and littler siblings see the animals.

Like us at Benton Family Farm FACE BOOK PAGE/Instagram, there are group and special offers! Donations are excepted to help the farm. A letter can be provided on your donation for tax purposes for either monetary or equipment/supplies. We are having a fundraiser in the Spring called the SPRING FLING FESTIVAL with 130 top vendors with a farm visit barn available and pony rides!
