Benton Rise Farm is a place with purpose, a place where everyone is welcome. This business is about growing a stronger community through Peninsula produce, farm experiences and genuine hospitality.
Since January 2022, new owners Ian and Issy have brought their love of animals, community and banter to the farm. “Growing up in the UK with grandparents who loved to cook and garden was always a lifestyle I wanted to replicate,” Issy said. Issy’s childhood dream is well within reach.
Benton Rise Farm has broad appeal for the fresh food-lovers – or, as Issy refers to them, the “locavores” – the community-lovers, the family fun-seekers and the travellers. The new playground made from recycled and repurposed materials is a fun place for the kids if you can pry them away from patting the farm’s animals.
The café is relaxed and offers a selection of drinks, including Peninsula coffee and sweet and savoury delights from Peninsula artisan producers and bakers. Once you have fed yourself, there’s the opportunity to feed some of the furry friends who reside on the property. Keeping the community connected is important to the owners, who have placed their café on the Chatty Café scheme, a brilliant initiative that encourages communities to connect in conversation in a comfortable space.
Inside the 1910 Red Rattler on site is a shop offering the best quality produce: fresh fruit and veg, pantry and fridge items from surrounding producers, fresh bakery items, meal planning boxes, gifts, hampers, even beauty products. The shop is available online with local deliveries every Thursday or pick-up daily.
Whether you want to buy fresh produce, enjoy a coffee, pat a sheep or start up a conversation, Benton Rise Farm is the place for you. It’s the place for everyone.
