Welcome

On behalf of Schrocks Mother Goose Hatchery, Inc. we are glad that you choose us to meet your agricultural needs. We are a family business which tries to meet the needs of other families, whether it's a few birds or thousands.

The hatchery was started in 1957 when John Brandeberry's 9 year old son, Robert, brought five Embden goslings home from school. At first John did not want those goslings around, but as they grew, so did his interest and love for geese. The next year John bought a small incubator and hatched some goose eggs. With more geese and more eggs, John soon had people calling him for goslings. This led to the beginning of Brandeberry Goose Hatchery.

In 1966, a nine year old boy went to work for John. His job was smelling goose eggs to discover if they were rotten before putting them into the hatcher. As this young man watched goslings peck their way out of eggs and witnessed the miracle of birth, he was hooked. That young man was Gregory Troyer.

After 30 years as Brandeberry Goose Hatchery, the business was sold and its name changed to Culver's Mother Goose Hatchery. This change was short lived, and Gregory Troyer bought the hatchery in 1989, changing its name to Mother Goose Hatchery, Inc.

We (Devon + Doris Schrock) bought the Hatchery from Mother Goose and changed the name to Schrock's Mother Goose Hatchery. It is still a family operation. And out goal is to have happy satisfied customers.

To those of you who are one of our customers, we promise continued satisfaction. To those who may be new, we welcome your business, and are sure you will find our stock excellent and our service considerate.
