About White Feather Farms
The Schuler family
The Schuler family has been delivering outstanding customer service for over four generations. It all started before the Great Depression when William Schuler began selling Purina Chows in the 1920s from his cash feed store in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Eventually, William Schuler’s son, Fritz, went to work for the Ralston Purina Company, where he sold feed to country elevators throughout western Ohio and eastern Indiana region for over thirty-five years.
Fritz earned numerous sales awards
It was during this time that Fritz figured out that you could sell more feed if there were more farm families raising laying hens, so he began showing numerous farm families how they might increase their farm income by raising chickens and selling the eggs. This campaign proved quite successful as Fritz earned numerous sales awards and many of these farms proved quite successful.
Fritz and his wife Mary Margaret
Fritz and his wife Mary Margaret had two children, the oldest of which is a son named Bill. Like his father before him, Bill went to work for the Ralston Purina Company as a plant manager. Bill managed several egg processing facilities across the Midwest before he returned to the Pataskala, Ohio distribution center in 1969. Back then he would send trucks all over Ohio to pick up eggs from small family farms and bring them back to the processing plant where they were washed, inspected, and eventually cartoned and shipped to local grocery stores. In early 1972 when Ralston Purina Company decided it no longer wanted to be in the fresh egg business, Bill and several business associates went together and founded White Feather Farms. For the first couple of years of our existence, all we sold were fresh eggs to local groceries and restaurants. As time went by, we first added fresh poultry and then branched out into dry, refrigerated, and frozen foods.
Fritz joined the family business
After his graduation in 1984, Bill’s son Fritz joined the family business and by starting out mowing the grass and washing trucks, slowly worked his way up through the ranks to become President of the company in 2008 and eventually owner. Today Fritz works alongside both of his parents and several valuable employees to make White Feather Farms of Ohio a successful independent full-service food distributor.
