The business began with just a few farms, but soon began to grow. In 2000, a local man, Mark Miller, took ownership of the company, continuing the tradition of working with area family farmers.

As Farmers Hen House continued to expand, Miller’s children — Ryan and Rachelle — joined the business. After Rachelle stepped away to raise her children, Ryan became part owner and general manager.

Today, Farmers Hen House operates an egg grading and distribution facility in Kalona, Iowa. It’s where eggs from our network of family farms are cleaned, graded and packaged. Our network includes mostly local farms, as well as farms in Bloomfield, Iowa and northern Missouri.
