Pete & Gerry’s Organics, LLC Acquires Farmer’s Hen House to Meet Growing Demand for Premium Eggs
Summary
Both companies have grown by nearly 50% since 2021 amidst the rising popularity of premium eggs; the combined resources and infrastructure will help in continuing to meet growing demand from customers and consumers. As the effects of Avian Influenza continue, this trend is expected to drive a larger share of the egg market toward premium options due to enhanced biosecurity afforded by more distributed farm networks,” said Tom Flocco, CEO of Pete & Gerry’s. “ We’ve grown and scaled the company while keeping with tradition, and we’re proud today to embrace a new era with Pete & Gerry’s to grow the reach of our collective Certified Humane® eggs.” Terms of the transaction will not be disclosed. The Company was founded in 1997, with the mission to provide local Amish and Mennonite farmers with a sustainable means to competitively produce and market specialty eggs in the modern retail economy. Today, Farmers Hen House has grown to be one of the largest independent processors and marketers of premium shell eggs sold through the natural, conventional, mass and club retail channels.
