James E. Bennett Orchard, located about four miles from Buffalo on Bennett Road, has been in the same family through four generations.
“John Bennett started the family in the apple business,” said Lula Bennett, James Bennett’s widow. “John had two sons, Minor and Ernest, who each had orchards as did their sons, James and Tommy.”
James’ son Mike, his wife Glenda and Lula now operate the business that sells several varieties of apples and peaches as well as honey, preserves, sorghum, jellies, and jams.
