Rocky Acre Farms , ML Joy The Dairy of Distinction called Rocky Acre Farm, is owned by Galen and Eileen Benner and farmed by son Arlin and his wife Deborah. They farm 450 acres and milk 360 Holsteins. Arlin took over the dairy cows in 1990. Prior to that Galen had milked cows for 25 years. They have operated a bed and breakfast tourist home at the farm for many years. Galen says the farm is a good place to raise the children, but you must be careful it is not ail work and no play. Their farmhouse historically was a stop on the "underground railroad" for the slaves. The Benner boys facetiously claim they were the modern slaves there when they grew up. But they now admit the farm was a good place to grow up, even if they don't want to farm.
