Valley Bounty: The Benson Place
“This is a farm, but it feels like a wild place,” says Meredith Wecker. “That’s why I fell in love with it.”
The Benson Place is a diversified farm that Wecker runs with her husband, Andrew Kurowski, and is best known for their fifty acres of certified organic low-bush blueberries. Now, they’re also growing some vegetables and have planted new
groves of chestnuts and elderberries to eventually sell. Dairy goats also joined the farm a few years back. Tying it all together, they recently started raising pastured meat chickens, which are fed organic grain and goats’ milk whey while foraging freely
in the chestnut and elderberry orchard.
