Why We Started JWM


Ken Wareham and Astin Melhorn began discussing the concept of JWM Poultry Solutions, LLC in 2017. The conversation started with the idea of forming a company that would bring a full service solution to many local and national poultry producers as John W. Melhorn had set out to do in 1957. It became apparent to Ken and Astin that the poultry industry could benefit from a company dedicated to providing layer and broiler producers with a full service option. With the support of Melhorn Sales Service & Trucking Co., founded by John Melhorn and owned and operated by Astin Melhorn, and the many years of poultry experience that Ken Wareham brings to the table, JWM Poultry Solutions can provide a poultry producer with every service required to get a bird from chick through to production and beyond. John Melhorn instilled in both Ken and Astin that our job was not done until your customer was happy with what we were hired to do. Sometimes, this meant going above and beyond the one dimensional service that we were initially asked to provide. At JWM Poultry Solutions, we strive to provide our customer with exactly what they need to be successful, nothing more and nothing less.
