Featured Project
The Weiler Family of Myerstown, PA (our hometown) has been an outstanding partner of Farmer Boy's. We have worked together with Willie and Kevin Weiler and their extended family to build a total of thirteen barns on four properties in Lebanon County, PA.
They major in swine and broilers production with a more than 20 year history of relying on Farmer Boy for Buildings and Equipment for their enterprise. Most recently in 2020, Farmer Boy built four broiler barns each 500' long with capacity for raising 140,000 birds every eight weeks.
Farmer Boy provided construction and complete equipment for these growing facilities constructed to the specifications of Bell and Evans, their local integrator. We sincerely thank Weiler Family Farms, LLC for their patronage and loyalty.
