A Little History:
The Allnutt farming tradition in Montgomery County goes back to 1763 when James Allnutt of Calvert County, Maryland bought 746 acres of land along Seneca Creek known at the "Thomas Discovery." Today, Homestead Farm consists of 230 acres of this original land purchase.
In 1900 Robert and Alice Allnutt finished building the white farm house. Their son, Benoni Dawson, was born in that house in 1917. Benoni continued to farm the land and raise five children with his wife, Sarah. Today, Benoni and Sarah's oldest son, Ben, carries on the farming tradition. Ben, his wife Maureen, and their son Ian now make Homestead Farm their home and continue to farm the land.
