The Farmer and his wife are a couple in Danville whose lives are constantly yet unintentionally affected by the activities of Phineas, Ferb, and/or Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Biography[]
The Farmer and his wife are often seen starting all sorts of new businesses, but he always being unprepared and never remembers to stock his business with the requisite merchandise. His Wife then begins nagging him on his poor business tactics, usually claiming that the item in question "isn't going to just fall out of the sky". At that instant, the item suddenly lands near or on her (usually as a result of Phineas, Ferb, and/or Doofenshmirtz's unintentional activities).

She then states, "What, did you think a shiny new miniature golf course would just fall out of the sky?" Then Phineas and Ferb's course fell out of the sky exactly on top of Little Duffer's, to which he responds, "You'd be surprised what falls out of the sky in Danville."
This is the only time that she appears with someone other than her husband.

In the film, the farmer has started a dragon-themed amusement park, but, as usual, forgot to get anything resembling a dragon. His wife also berates him for keeping a chicken coop. Thanks to Doof's Chicken-Replace-inator, the chicken is replaced by an alien dragon-like creature from Feebla-Oot. The farmer remarks to his wife, "My support group says you're keeping me down."
Hamster & Gretel[]
The couple makes a few appearances in Hamster & Gretel, a show by Dan Povenmire that takes place in the same universe as Phineas and Ferb.

Their first appearance in Hamster & Gretel is in "Grounded". As Hamster notes an enormous pie tin blown in the wind as another false sighting if a U.F.O, the scene cuts to the farmer, hammering down some stakes in the ground to ensure that the "State's Largest Pie Tin" stays firmly in place, clearly irritated that the pie tin keeps getting carried away by the wind, while his wife looks concerned at him in the background. The end of the episode reveals that the wind took away the pie tin yet again.
