Our disaster planning and the efforts given that night allowed us to continue delivering Wisconsin’s finest fresh eggs without missing a single dozen. Watching, hoping and praying we stood in shock as the teams of firemen battled the elements of a Wisconsin winter along with the challenging structure. On the evening of Janufire fighters arrived to encounter a recently constructed barn engulfed in flames. Calamity StrikesĪ 4-Alarm fire brings a challenge to our operation. In 2009, extensive renovations and remodeling to the Whitewater, WI facility were completed adding three new barns bringing capacity to 800,000 hens at this location alone.
Over the next decade, extensive remodeling and the addition of six barns to the Cold Spring operation increased capacity to 1.6 million birds in 2002. This egg laying facility added space for an additional 370,000 hens. The Cold Spring operation in Palmyra, WI was purchased from Michael’s Foods in 1993. Shortly thereafter egg laying operations were ceased at the Waukesha facility, but it has been retained and serves as a base for agricultural operations. In 1985, three additional buildings were added, increasing total capacity of all farms to an estimated 582,000 laying hens. In 1980, remodeling began to modernize the Whitewater facility and was completed in 1983.
These acquisitions expanded capacity to 72,000 birds. In 1976, a short time after the retirement of his father-in-law, Nick bought the Tamarack Road facility in Whitewater, WI and an egg laying operation in Waukesha, WI.
