Bennville Farm & Bennville Equestrian

 

Bennville Farm is located at the western edge of Haldimand County, a 30 minute drive south from Brantford or Hamilton with the connection to mayor Highways 403 and 401.
Originally a dairy farm, we purchased this farm in 1981, immigrating directly from Germany. Both our families have been farming in Germany for more than 3 generations, but small acreage, high land prices and limited availability of farm land and no chance of expansion were the main reasons for us to come to Canada. Tenant farmers back in the “Rheinland” close to Cologne, where we had a well established dairy herd, we decided to take the big step of immigrating to Canada to fulfill our dream of owning our “own farm”.

 

Many things have changed in those 30 years. We raised five children, all grown up now, 4 married with families of their own. The farming operation has changed as well. Starting out as a dairy farm, we sold the herd in 1997 only to expand on the land base and today our operation consists of 3 sections, the cash crop operation ( shared with our daughter and son in law Niki and Ian), the Equestrian operation (run by Ferdi and his team) and a small herd of 45 purebred Limousin cows, (managed by Anita with the help of daughters Anna and Greta).

 

We take great pride in conservation farming ,with leaving as little footprint as possible on our surroundings. No-till in combination with strict crop rotation, permanent pastures for sensible areas, fenced water ways, buffer strips, windbreaks and the protection of wetland areas had great impact on our surroundings. Where we had no wildlife on our farm in the beginning , today we are observing a wide variety of species on our farm as well as high yields produced on a healthy, living soil.
