The Benton Family Farm has come a long way from its 1941 founding, when its only assets were two mules. Four generations of Bentons have flourished along with the farm, which, at its height, sustained more than 100 herds of cattle and sheep. Now the plot hosts students and families, the rumble of an austere John Deere tractor hearkening to the golden age of farming. Hay-filled wagons full of visitors trundle around the land year-round, dropping them off to learn about agricultural education, including sheep, cows, and pigs. In the fall, the farm comes alive with brisk-weather activities, including pumpkin picking and tours through a haunted farm house from 1901, while giving visitors an authentic farm experience.
