About Welpman Fish Hatchery
Welpman Springs is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Missouri Goldfish Hatchery, Inc., a fourth generation family owned and operated business. It all started back in 1929, at the beginning of the Great Depression, when a German immigrant, H.K. Welpman, started one of his many business ventures called Missouri Goldfish Company. The business has kept its family routes strong over the years, but many other things have changed. For example, it is now known as the Missouri Goldfish Hatchery, not "Company" and we no longer raise goldfish. Also, many years ago, there were many hatcheries around the nation, now there is only one hatchery, found at the founding location, and this hatchery which used to have around 590 ponds on approximately 800 acres, now only has around 200 ponds and 400 acres of water, on the same 800 acres.
