ABOUT HOSTETLER POULTRY

Solutions Built Together

At Hostetler Poultry, we believe 1+1=3. We view all of our relationships as strategic partnerships for the growth of all of us. We believe that dynamic collaboration with our team members, our farmers, our communities and families gives all of us more than we could be or ever do alone. When we work together, we are all built professionally, personally, and spiritually to be more. We have been striving for this since 1966.

Our Brand Core Values

1+1=3 | Together We Are More
Grow Personally and Spiritually
Take Ownership. Be Accountable.
Create A Positive Environment
Our transition from Hostetler Sales and Construction to the H3 brand ushers in a new era for our company as we work to build on the the rich tradition and recognition that the Hostetler name has carried for many years. We’re still the same team with the same values working toward the same purpose.

Where We Started

In 1966, Ben W. Hostetler moved his family from Illinois to the Missouri Ozarks and started steel fabrication and construction. In those early years, Ben set up shop in their front yard while his wife cooked for the crew.

In 1990, Ben’s three sons – Ken, David and Vernon – began the process of buying the business from Ben. Two years later they acquired a sheet metal fabrication company on the east coast and moved the machinery to Missouri.

In 2004, we acquired a feed mill and built several country stores. 
Between 2012 and 2014, 11 grandsons and 10 key employees began sharing ownership of the company.

Where We Are Today

Today Hostetler Poultry is part of the H3 Co family of brands. As our company continues to expand, our core values have become clarified. We seek to build value-added solutions, inspiring others to grow and build with purpose. This is exactly what we seek to do with our chicken house building operation. We believe that dynamic collaboration gives all of us more than we could be or ever do alone.

Why Choose Hostetler Poultry?

You do not need to be an expert in chicken farming to work with us. We provide you with a step-by-step process for setting up your chicken house, working with you all along the way. We provide you with all the equipment needed to build your poultry house. This includes the best most durable steel trusses in the industry, something we have specialized in since the beginning of our company. We also connect you with integrators for the eggs produced in your chicken house.

Just as our founder Ben Hostetler began including his sons and then grandsons in the work, he showed us that when working together, we are better than we are alone.
