SIOUX CENTERâCenter Fresh Egg Farm 3 miles west of Sioux Center is in the process of building a cage-free housing system that will hold 1.5 million birds.
Construction also is nearly completely on a 14,760-square-foot biosecurity and receiving building to change the way team members enter the property that includes Center Freshâs breaking facility where liquid eggs are produced.
Work began last fall with demolishing buildings on the Garfield Avenue farm that dated back to structures erected in the 1970s.
Construction has begun this spring on three cage-free buildings, each measuring 150-by-507-feet and four stories high. The first flock of the cage-free birds are set to move in March 2022.
