Post Holdings, Inc. announced this week it has agreed to acquire the Northwestern U.S. egg company Willamette Egg Farms, LLC.
Willamette Egg owns two egg production facilities located in Oregon and Washington and has been operating since 1934. Willamette Egg produces shell eggs, specialty shell eggs (including cage-free and organic eggs) and value-added egg products (including liquid and hard cooked eggs). Upon completion of the acquisition, Willamette Egg will be combined with Post's existing Michael Foods egg business.
