    Tour Metzer Farms Hatchery,

    Live Duck Processing Demo & MORE!


    Join us for a one-day regional event at the new Metzer Farms Hatchery in Memphis, TN! 

    Have you ever wondered about everything that goes into getting a chick from the hatchery to your farm? This is a great opportunity to tour the newest, state-of-the-art hatchery and shipping facility east of the Mississippi. 

    From incubating and hatching, to boxing and shipping, you'll leave with a greater understanding of all the hard, dedicated work and amazing people behind the scenes to get your chicks, ducklings, goslings, and poults delivered!

    Are you struggling to process your ducks cleanly? 

    Join the master of raising and processing pasture-raised ducks, Ben Grimes of Dawn Breaker Farms in North Carolina for a live duck processing demonstration in cooperation with Stromberg's Chickens & Processing Equipment.
