Behneman Farms

Apr 26, 2018

Nestled up to the left of the Organic Only Farmstand is a booth showcasing an array of fruits and vegetables from Behneman Farms. The booth was bustling with business and owner Norma Murillo took a break from weighing customers’ produce to talk about her love for her line of work.

“[Farming] is really rewarding. When you see the stuff you planted … grow and then you see it produced is just a nice feeling and we love it,” Murillo said.

Her farm is a family business, started in 1971 and passed down from generation to generation. It is now Murillo’s turn to care for the farm and she is proud of the benefits her produce brings to the community.

“[Through buying from farmer’s markets,] you keep supporting your local economy and you keep giving jobs back to the community,” said Murillo, “[Farmer’s markets are] a better way to get your produce, it’s more healthy because its fresh-picked and also you are supporting your community.”
