Rose Acre Farms recently completed a groundbreaking ceremony for the Desert Valley complex.  The project will follow some of the innovations developed for the Lone Cactus Farm and the complex will have a completed capacity of 2.2 million hens.  The project will cost in excess of $100 million and will create up to 150 new jobs.

The Rose Acre Farms Lone Cactus complex in Arizona was completed in 2016 and was subsequently complemented by a grain storage facility with a total capacity of 1.8 million bushels.

Summit Engineering and Construction will serve as the primary contractor involved in conceptual and detailed design extending through erection. Rose Acre Farms selected Fienhage aviary installations for the project that will incorporate upgrades and modifications to the “wrap house” design developed for the Lone Cactus complex. The Desert Valley project will use cross-flow ventilation and other features developed from experience with the Lone Cactus and subsequent houses erected in Iowa.

EGG-NEWS will provide updates on progress and details through completion of the project as released by Rose Acre Farms and Summit Engineering and construction.
