Great news to share!

✨ NEW HOURS starting this week! ✨

We had hoped to get in another week or two of dinners, but the dark and cold are catching up to us.

Thanks for all your support so far this year! We’re going to stay open as long as we can, and we hope you’ll stick with us. Updated menu, curbside pickup, and expanded Take & Bake options are in the works.

Friends of the Benn Hill Farm Stand! :)
We are winding down the farm stand for the season. Keep your eyes peeled for pop-ups as we get into the colder months! We have some ideas! ☕️ We want anyone who still needs squash or pumpkins to send us a message, and we will arrange it! 🎃

From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot say thank you enough to everyone who supported our little farmstand venture this summer! We felt so incredibly happy to be able to help folks in the area get delicious produce that we were so lucky to be inundated with! 🍅🥒🍎As well as all the awesome offerings Joyce made - pickles, sauces, jams, dressings galore! 🥰

Stay tuned and we'll keep everyone updated! :)

🍂🎃Wishing everyone a great day after a very Happy Halloween from Benn Hill Farm Stand! ✨🎃

✨We want to say to everyone: ✨
We are painfully aware of the reality of folks losing SNAP benefits beginning today.
Joyce is making up a BIG pot of homemade chicken stew and we want anyone who needs one, or knows someone who needs one to come grab a cup of soup!

🧀Bleu Cheese and Ranch dressings are in the fridge! Still a few Raspberry Dressings, as well! 🌿
We still have plenty of squash both Delicatta & Butternut - $1.00 a pound! Stock up for winter and keep them cool, and you can have fresh squash into next year! 🙂
(If someone wants all the big zucchini, take them home free of charge!)

Current offerings:
Homemade Garden Tomato Sauce - simple sauce with easy-to-digest ingredients!🍅
Dill Pickles and Dill Relish 🥒
Mustard-Pickled Cauliflower (Limited quantities!!)
***Friends - what would you like to see for the Farm Stand for the Winter? ❄️
Any thoughts or ideas? Leave them below or feel free to send us a message! ***

🍂🎃Happy Happy Halloween from your friends at the Benn Hill Farm Stand! ✨🎃

We would love to give the pumpkins to everyone who wants one for Halloween! Come by and grab one, and take a picture and tag us! :)
We would love to see costumes! The pumpkins are indeed for eating but would make a sweet little jack-o-lantern! 🎃
