In 2007, Jeni and Daniel Dover began Darby Farms, utilizing three acres of pasture owned by Jeni's family, the Darbys in Monroe, GA. Jeni and Daniel resolved to feed themselves and their family, friends, and neighbors nutrient-dense food. They started with a market garden, moving next to raising laying hens, and then to meat chickens. On those three acres, Daniel and Jeni learned the thrill and excitement of growing their own food and its tribulations.
In 2010, after realizing the need for more land, the farm expanded, and a lease was signed for a farmhouse with 50 acres of pasture and 20 acres of mixed hardwood and pine in Good Hope, GA. Seven years passed, and animal diversification grew with the incorporation of sheep, hogs, and cattle— completing the mimicry of the great plains with all its symbiotic relationships. The topsoil increased exponentially, the dung beetles returned to the fields, and the farm started making a profit.
In late 2017, elderberry syrup, an age-old wellness tradition that Jeni had made and given to her family since 2011, came into the mainstream in the US. Jeni and Daniel saw the opportunity to plant, grow, harvest, and produce elderberry syrup locally. Darby Farms Elderberry Syrup is now widely distributed throughout America.
This success inspired Jeni and Daniel to diversify the farm further to plant more herbal and food producing plants and trees in an integrated system with animals called silvopasture. The silvopasture technique is thousands of years old and they have merged it with modern day technologies of electric fencing, water management, and plant selection.
