Joanne and I would like to express our gratitude to all those who have made this year a great sucess at Danjo Farms. We have enjoyed the ability to work hard, serve our local communities and sustain our family here in Moberly, Missouri. You have been the heart beat of our strength to continue upward and onward towards the communities much needed food security. Thank you so much!
We are a certified naturally grown micro-farm in north central Missouri five miles south of Moberly on Highway 63. Growing all kinds of produce, berries, fruit and nuts on our fifteen acres with our five boys keeps us busy. We also have Irish Dexter cattle, Boar goats, Bronze turkeys, Duroc hogs, rabbits and several breeds of chicken. We run an All-Missouri Country Store on farm six days a week, 6-month CSA farmshare program, and go to two local farmers markets in Ashland and Columbia. Our farm hosts field trips for children of all ages to educate them on local, sustainable naturally grown agriculture. But mainly to have fun and enjoy to simple things in life.
One thing is certain that we are here fighting for the right to stay small and sustainable. We have put together this family farm in the shadow of our parents and grandparents farms being taken by big business or the collapse of our nations agricultural economy. Our extended family and local community has united behind us to pioneer this farm into a place where hardwork, love for the land and support for our local community is paramount.
Keeping with the motto borne by Abraham Lincoln one hundred and fifty years ago which states;"No other occupation opens so wide a field for the profitable and agreeable combination of labor with cultivated thought, as agriculture." May we listen to the fields, the birds, the plants and the insects as they whisper to our souls, for without the tiller's hand all mankind must persh.
Saving our family farms in America one farm at a time!
