Are you ready for it?
In just a few years, the world’s primary retailers will sell only cage-free eggs—equaling 70% of the market. The egg producers who act today and adapt to meet future demands will thrive. One egg producer has already started…
…and this is their story.
In 2015, Rose Acre Farms and Summit Livestock Facilities forged a forward-looking partnership to design and build 10 innovative cage-free egg facilities in 3 locations across the United States capable of producing 1.1 billion eggs a year, quickly and cost-effectively.
How will Summit Livestock Facilities do it?
Innovative Thinking
- Invent a patent-pending facility design that turns cage-free roosts into the superstructure, shaving approximately 90 days off the standard construction schedule for cost savings in labor and materials.
- The Wrap-the-Equipment™ design changes the sequencing of erecting the building and installing the equipment by combining the two. This allows them to be completed simultaneously; compressing the overall timeline.
- Develop creative solutions in water treatment and facility cooling systems that turn the desert into a hospitable home for millions of birds.
- Create a unique egg-drying process to facilitate USDA labeling requirements and prevent mold issues.
Rigorous Project Management
- Apply decades of project management experience in livestock facility construction.
- Manage large-scale construction sites simultaneously across the United States.
- Provide a single-source turnkey solution that uses the EPC (Engineering-Procurement-Construction) model, unique in agricultural construction.
Our Team
- In-house team of engineers, designers and project managers that allow for control and predictability for Producers.
- Focused on building trust-based relationships.
- Deep understanding of cage installation processes and sequencing.
- Drawing on over 50 years of experience in sequencing, flow and staging for construction projects.
The opportunity is here—the time is now.
