Schlitz Goose Farm

For centuries, roast goose has been the food of choice for royalty and dignitaries. In 1944, Schlitz Foods was founded with its beginning in selling two goslings. Throughout the years, the family business expanded and, in 1980, the Schiltz family saw the need to produce goose meat under a federal label so product could be shipped to all 50 states. The company acquired the current federally inspected facility in South Dakota and moved operations to Sisseton after completing the acquisition of the goose operations of Lansberger Creamery in 1981. Currently, Schiltz Foods is the largest goose producer in the Americas. With the growing demand for goose consumption and quality goose products, the Schiltz family is positioned to take Schiltz Foods and Schiltz Goose Farm well into the 21st century.
