Get outside and join the community as we tour new Lander Chamber of Commerce Melissahof Hatchery.
Melissahof is the farm – “hof” is German for farm – of Melissa Hemken. Living near Lander, Melissa discovered that the rural expansiveness of Wyoming hindered the mail shipment of healthy day-old chicks. Recognizing that other Wyoming folks also need healthy chicks for their flocks, Melissa raises dual-purpose heavy breed poultry from which to hatch purebred chicks. The chosen heritage breeds produce both eggs and meat, and have plumage and small combs suitable to cold winters.
Melissahof Hatchery is USDA National Poultry Improvement Program certified. Learn more at https://melissahof.com/
