Providing Quality Feed for Quality Food

 

Our History

After experiencing great success selling bagged feeds in his Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania self-service grocery store, founder Mel Wenger was approached by a feed salesman about purchasing the J.W. Wolgemuth Mill in neighboring Rheems. Mel Wenger purchased the mill in 1944 and, throughout the 50’s and 60’s, developed a custom feed formula to meet the needs of the growing egg layer business in Lancaster County. The resultant M.M. Wenger feeds were extremely popular and filled a market segment that had previously been ignored. His success prompted Mel Wenger to create an independent line of custom feed products. By the early 1960’s, Wenger Feeds had expanded into poultry and swine production, eggs, and pullet growing.

Wenger Feeds expanded in the 80s and 90s by buying milling facilities in Mount Joy and Spring Glen, Pennsylvania.  In addition, the company began leasing the Massey Mill along the Eastern Shore in Maryland in 1993. In 1999, Wenger’s broke ground for a milling facility in Shippensburg, which opened in 2000. The Shippensburg Mill was the first mill built by the company from the ground up. The second mill to be built, Muncy, opened just two short years later.

In 2004, the company built a soybean processing plant in Elizabethtown, PA. The plant was the first facility built by the company for the manufacture of a feed ingredient, SoyChoice®, an organic expelled soybean meal.

In 2012, Wenger Feeds purchased the Hempfield Mill from the Pennfield Corporation. The purchase gave the company the ability to manufacture organic feed.

In 2019, Wenger Feeds’ parent company The Wenger Group, Inc. purchased the Benton Mill and a minority interest in Hoober Feeds. The purchase gave the company the ability to manufacture dairy feed. In the fall of the same year, The Wenger Group purchased Risser Grain, which added a ninth mill to the Wenger Feeds’ network, The Martinsburg Mill.

In 2020, the Company purchased the Hoober Mill in Gordonville giving it another foothold in the dairy industry.

In 2022, the Company purchased Leidy’s Premium Meats.

In 2023, The Wenger Group purchased the Esbenshade Feed Mill, its Mount Joy properties along with all of Esbenshade’s swine operations.
