Gerry spent years building the infrastructure—pens, kennels, bird processing facility—while learning game bird production from his father. In 2002, they upgraded to a state-of-the-art NPIP-certified, A1 Clean hatchery. Eldena brings gamebird experience dating back to 1982 and personally trains dogs and guides hunts.
