Rose Acre Farms' story reflects the very best of American agriculture: hard work, innovation, family values, and a commitment to community.

Founded in the 1930s as a family-owned farm with approximately 1,000 laying hens in rural Indiana, Rose Acre Farms has grown into one of the nation's leading egg producers. Its expansion into Iowa during the late 1980s and early 1990s brought jobs, economic opportunity, and lasting partnerships to communities including Guthrie Center, Stuart, and Winterset.

For decades, Rose Acre Farms has been a dedicated supporter of both the Iowa Egg Council and the North Central Poultry Association. Company leaders, including Norm Bosier and Andy Kaldenberg, have played significant roles in advancing the poultry and egg industry through leadership, advocacy, and service. Rose Acre Farms has also demonstrated a strong commitment to developing future leaders through its support of NCPA programs and industry initiatives.

Known as "The Good Egg People," Rose Acre Farms has remained true to its family-owned values while pioneering innovations that have helped shape the modern egg industry. From advancements in egg processing and biosecurity to investments in new products and production practices, the company has consistently embraced innovation while maintaining a steadfast commitment to quality, its employees, its customers, and the communities it serves.

Through its leadership, industry engagement, and ongoing support of poultry and egg producers, Rose Acre Farms continues to make a lasting impact on agriculture and the future of the industry.
