Opal Foods received the 2022 Large-Business of the Year award from the Neosho Chamber of Commerce.
According to Kelly Brown, Chairperson, "this recognition celebrates Opal’s contributions to the community in which we live and work, as well as the fact Opal is an employer of choice.”
The award was based on a comprehensive review by the Chamber including letters of recommendation from suppliers and team members".
Opal Foods is owned by Rose Acre Farms and Weaver Brothers Inc. and operates complexes in Missouri, Iowa and Colorado.
The Neosho Complex was established by the Osborn Family and was subsequently acquired by Land ‘O Lakes but on the break-up of the egg-production operations their Central Division was divested to form the nucleus of Opal Foods during mid-2015.
