SEEDLINGS GROWING INTO TRANSPLANTS! CHICKS INTO BROILERS!
DANJO FARMS GOES THE EXTRA MILE TO GROW FOR YOU!

FROM THE NOTE PAD:
This is the time of year that we re-invent ourselves. We always get the question, "Hey! Are you new to the market?" Of course, we are not! But we try our best to find a way to kind to others not knowledgeable about the seasonality of farming.

We all in farming but everything on the line in springtime from finances, to extra hours in the field, to placing extra burdens on our tools and tractors. We spend a lot of energy getting everything you want to the market in a consumable form or way. Plus, the demands of what we are doing with our land, our resources; what we are doing regarding fertilization and pest control or the way we process and package. I believe people want "Clean Food".  We are here on the farm to give you that.

Truly we are the source for local, sustainable farm, fresh food grow with the best methods and nutritious value you can buy. Because we do all the right things - work within the season; use only natural occurring fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides, plant only heirloom seed and plant stock; let the plants grow and form fruit in their own season; vine ripen our produce without the use of stabilizers; develop ways to market our products to be the most value to you, our customers!

We are involved with agriculture as a passion lifestyle to give you the earths best! This season and year.

MARCH COMES IN LIKE A LION! DANJO FARMS BUTTONS DOWN THE FARM!

FROM THE NOTE PAD:
Well we are at it again! Closing doors and opening windows to deal with the southern winds, warmer temperatures and start of springtime. The creek frogs are croaking, the robins are back and lots of baby animals and plants to tend to. We have our annual migration of Canadian Geese on the ponds with three mating pairs setting of nests of eggs. Soon we will have those cute little goslings on the water following their parents around in a row!

Many a mud hole as the ground has heaved and thawed to make for a messy time at the barns with the animals. Plenty of hay to go around for bedding. Dry areas are important for the animals at this time of the year so they don't get colds. Yes! Yes! They get sick too.  But, knock on wood, nobody sick yet!

CITY FOLK SAYINGS!
"Hey! Why do some chickens lay blue eggs?" a lady asked. "Because they are blue!" , I said. " That's no answer!" she exclaimed. "Well," I said, "at least that's the right one." Bahahaaa!
