Daum: All about the<br />
agriculture, all the time<br />
By KIM LEATHERMAN<br />
STAFF WRITER<br />
LAKE PLACID — Danielle Daum is a woman in<br />
business who holds her own and rises above in the<br />
traditionally male-dominated world of agriculture.<br />
Daum is the office manager at Happiness Farms,<br />
Inc. and so much more.<br />
According to Darlene Phypers, co-owner of the<br />
family-owned business, Daum has been with the<br />
company for about 30 years. She is very proud<br />
of everything Daum has accomplished and her<br />
dedication to the business.<br />
Any agriculture-based business is at the mercy of<br />
Mother Nature. After Hurricane Irma and the torrential<br />
rains that followed the next sowing season,<br />
the past two years have been lean for the company.<br />
This year, the caladium fields are a tapestry of color<br />
and the harvest looks promising. Hurricane Dorian<br />
threatened business once again earlier this month,<br />
but Phypers said she was proud of the way Daum<br />
has handled the stress of the past couple of years,<br />
as well as the most recent hurricane threat.<br />
“Danielle is very easy to work with,” Phypers<br />
said. “She handles stress well and always makes us<br />
laugh. She has taught herself so many programs<br />
on the computer that are all Greek to me. I defer<br />
to her for all of that stuff. She is very organized<br />
and has met friends from all over the United States<br />
through her agriculture work.”<br />
Laura Mitchell is the bookkeeper and retail<br />
salesperson at Happiness Farms. Mitchell said she<br />
worked for corporate giants before joining the staff<br />
at Happiness Farms. She considers it a blessing to<br />
be able to work with Daum and the family.<br />
“Danielle is more dedicated to the family business than any of the big corporate<br />
supervisors that I have worked with,” Mitchell said. “She is dedicated to not<br />

letting family-owned agriculture businesses age out. She is<br />
fair, direct, dedicated and fun. She treats me like a part of<br />
her family. I am dedicated to the family, because they are<br />
to me. Danielle is a dynamo and inspiring.”<br />
Daum has a degree in elementary and special<br />
education. However, her classrooms are the caladium<br />
fields as she teaches her staff about the business.<br />
Daum’s passion for agriculture goes much further<br />
than the office. She is a co-founder Highlands County<br />
Ag-Venture, Inc. and has been the co-chairman for<br />
20 years. Daum finds curriculum and speakers for<br />
Ag in the Classroom and Ag-Literacy Day. She has<br />
served on the Florida Ag in the Classroom Volunteer<br />
Advisory Board and is secretary of the Highlands<br />
County Cattlewomen for over 20 years. Daum is the<br />
vice chairman of Florida’s Farm Bureau and a member<br />
of the organization’s board of directors. She has also<br />
served on the Children’s Services Council.<br />
Daum recently came back from Washington, D.C.,<br />
where she advocated for the family farmers whose<br />
claims have not yet been settled from Hurricane Irma.<br />
Whether she is behind a desk or knee deep in farm work, Daum loves<br />
where she works because it combines both worlds.<br />
