VEGETABLE SEEDLINGS, NEW BABY CHICKS, KITCHEN REMODEL, 

AND PIGLETS ON THE WAY!

DANJO FARMS RE-INVENTS ITSELF FOR SPRING!

FROM THE NOTE PAD:
Yes! Yes! It's almost spring again and we are busy getting things ready for another busy season. New baby chicks should arrive this next Wedensday into the brooder house with 50 meat birds and 25 laying hen pullets to start. They are so cute and make the "PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!" sound that brings joy to our weary winter hearts.

The certified kitchen is getting an new wall replacement and flooring before we gear up and are on our way into this busy season of the year. We are adding 400 more square foot of space to accommodate production and food safety issues with packaging, sorting and our new line of hot mustard's and jellies - CHILEDAN"S!
Like the new name folks? Anyway, we should be in production in April with product to buy and sample.

Yes! Yes! Our sows are pregnant and going to have piglets next month in March. Hereford piglets are the cutest things on the farm with black, tan, and red outlines on their white little bodies. Suggley too! We are excited to see spring come with all its wonders and ways that bring us great joy and satisfaction in being farmers here on this beautiful earth!

CITY FOLK SAYINGS!
Hey! Are those eggs from a chicken?", asked a young girl. "Yes." I said kind of puzzled. "Do they come from a rooster? Because if they do, they're fertilized better!" she exclaimed. I just shook my head and laughed to myself. "Boy", I thought. "Where do these people come up with these things!" Bahahaaaa!
