About us
Rose Acre Farms is currently the second largest egg producer in the US with 15 laying facilities in seven states. We provide a range of commodity shell eggs, specialty eggs, and egg products. Our top priority is to produce the highest quality products with the utmost regard for food safety. As far back as the 1930s, the Rust family began egg production with the largest hen house in Jackson County during that period. The population surge of the 1940s and 1950s initiated a need for farm commodities in major metropolitan areas. Beginning in the 1950s, construction had begun on the first modern chicken houses in Seymour, Indiana. Egg sales were made throughout the local area and regular trips were made to the Indianapolis Farmers Market from the main farms in southern Indiana. As consumer needs changed during the 1980s and 1990s, so did the variety of egg products offered by Rose Acre Farms. As we moved toward the close of the century, Rose Acre Farms had established plants in Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Georgia and North Carolina. In addition, two plants in Illinois followed shortly into the twenty first century. From a small handful of employees in the 1950s to over 1820 today, Rose Acre Farms continues to remain on the cutting edge of this ever-changing industry. Remaining the largest family-owned egg producer in the United States, continued innovation and market demand promise a bright future for our employees and customers.

This morning, we came together with our friends at the Iowa Egg Council and Rose Acre Farms to deliver over 237,000 eggs to the Food Bank of Iowa! “Fifteen percent of our kids are food insecure," said Michelle Book, CEO of Food Bank of Iowa, in an interview this morning with WHO 13. "43% of the individuals that we serve at Food Bank of Iowa via our food pantry partners and our meal sites, 43% are children." A big THANK YOU to all of our partners who came together to make this delivery happen and who are making a large impact in the lives of many in Iowa!
