About the Farm
The Benson Place is a family farm perched 1,700 feet high on Burnt Hill at the eastern edge of Massachusetts Berkshire Range. This thoughtfully managed operation encompasses over 30 acres of certified organic wild blueberry barrens alongside another 10 acres where the family raises pastured chickens and goats, creates vibrant pollinator habitat, and develops permaculture-inspired food systems.
The farm's philosophy centers on nutrient density, blending time-honored traditional methods with cutting-edge practices like sap analysis and customized foliar sprays. This careful approach allows them to optimize plant and animal health while serving the broader wellness of their community. Their pastured chickens roam through a 6-acre chestnut and elderberry silvopasture currently being established, supplemented with organic grain cultured in goat whey.
The heart of their operation beats with the rhythm of the blueberry harvest, a concentrated two-week season running from the end of July through early August. Beginning July 5th each year, customers can reserve pre-picked berries or schedule pick-your-own appointments. The farm's commitment extends beyond the harvest, offering their certified organic wild blueberry syrup for shipment anywhere in the lower 48 states, making their mountain-grown bounty accessible to a wider community of food lovers.
