Benson's Farm

Seasonal Nursery and Produce Farm. Top products: annuals, vegetable starts, hanging baskets, fresh produce, pumpkins. Benson’s Farm is a historical, family-operated horticultural and agricultural business located in Missoula, Montana. Established in 1900, the farm operates with a distinct seasonal business model that balances nursery operations with field crop production. During the spring months of May and June, the farm functions as a retail nursery and garden center, offering a curated selection of annuals, vegetable starts, herbs, succulents, and pre-potted container gardens and hanging baskets for local homeowners. Following a brief mid-summer hiatus to manage field cultivation, the farm reopens from mid-August through mid-November to sell its own harvests. Their agricultural output includes sweet corn, pumpkins, gourds, winter squash, apples, and carrots. The farm occupies land with a rich agricultural heritage, having transitioned from a dairy operation in the mid-20th century to its current status as a community-focused grower providing both ornamental plants and fresh food crops to the public.
