History
Wallenstein Feed & Supply Ltd. is an independent feed manufacturer located in Wallenstein, Ontario approximately 20 kilometres northwest of Kitchener-Waterloo. This central location allows for distribution throughtout Ontario, while providing access to a wide and readily available supply of raw ingredients. In addition, this rural setting has provided the company with a remarkable array of hard-working and dedicated employees who have greatly contributed to the success of Wallenstein Feed.
The Martin family has a history of service to the community which dates back to the 1940's when Lloyd sold feed from his father's general store in Wallenstein. In 1958, Lloyd purchased Riverside Feed Mill and began serving the agricultural community with two small trucks and five employees. The original mill was destroyed by fire in 1963, but a new one emerged from the rubble with major involvement from local farmers. In 1981, Lloyd's son, Rick, joined the family business. Over the years, sales grew, expansion continued, and by 1987, with production facilities stretched to the limit, the decision was made to build a second mill. This high tech mill began manufacturing feed in 1989 and has had several retrofits since that date. By 1999, with production facilities again stretched to the limit, a third mill was designed. With all three mills up and running by May 2001, we are able to offer our customers a consistent, high quality product. In December of 2001 Wallenstein Feed & Supply sucessfully met the requirements for HACCP in all three mills.
