Root’s Poultry is a special breed. The small family firm has weathered the Depression, three recessions, and other challenges. Today it thrives.

“My grandparents established the business in 1930,” Mark Damschroder says. “It’s a good feeling to be one of th

e businesses that has been around for generations.”

Wayne and Grace Root began with a vending route , purchasing chickens and eggs in Sandusky County, Ohio. They sold these fresh products at the historic West 25th Street Market in Cleveland. In the early 1940’s, they purchased the farm from where Root’s is located today. They began to raise and dress their own poultry, selling to a local markets. Over the years, they developed value added products like shredded and cubed chicken, products that would become the bulk of their business. In the 1960’s, they stopped raising poultry to concentrate on producing their unique chicken products—“a great move”, Mark now says. In the 1970’s, Grandsons Mike and Mark Damschroder came to work at Root’s. Sadly, Wayne passed away in 1984. The grandsons bought the business from Grace about a year later. Since then, the Company has continued to expand. They doubled the size of their building in 1990. Most importantly, Root’s is poised to move from a state to a regional distribution level. Root's is a USDA inspected facility.

Roots was incredibly proud to support the hardworking youth of the Sandusky County Fair this year with the purchase of the Grand Champion Turkey, Grand Champion Chicken, and Champion Market Duck! ❤️

These kids put countless hours into raising, caring for, and showing their animals, and being able to support that hard work is something that means a lot to us. Roots was built right here in our community, and we’re proud to invest back into the young people who are learning the value of agriculture, responsibility, and a job well done.

Congratulations to all of this year’s exhibitors and thank you to everyone who makes the fair and junior livestock program such a special part of our community.

Maaaaatt (in your best goat voice) may know his chickens, but we’re not so sure about his goat skills! 🐐😂

He traded in his chicken hat for 4-H dad duty at the county fair and we think he’s doing a pretty great job! 🍀

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Brutus got recruited as the newest Roots model today… the pay (milk bones) was questionable, the wardrobe was embarrassing, and he definitely did not approve the chicken hat. But somehow, he still nailed the photo shoot. ⭐️

Now we want to see your four-legged coworkers!

Drop a photo of your pup in the comments and help us celebrate National Dog Day!
