Farming has been in the Dammann family for years - dating back to 1901 when their ancestors started their first family farm in Essex. Justin and his wife have been farming since 2000 on this very same land where they raise livestock and grow white corn that is used in tortillas and cereals. The Dammann’s take pride in producing a product that is safe and wholesome for your family and theirs. Watch the video for a tour of their farm.
