VITAL FARMS, INC. Vital Farms has announced plans to expand its resilient supply chain with a second world-class egg washing and packing facility located in Seymour, Indiana. The 72-acre future home of Egg Central Station (ECS) Seymour will build upon key successes from the brand's first facility in Springfield, Missouri. The new facility will enable Vital Farms to continue growing its pasture-raised egg business, create 150+ jobs for the Seymour community in its first phase, and is expected to help generate over $350 million in additional revenue for the brand as push to 2027 target of $1 billion in company revenues.
putting down roots in Seymour for Vital Farms' second facility allows the brand to continue to expand its strong network of more than 300 family farms to support new farm development within a day's drive of the new facility. Vital Farms expects this new facility, in its first phase, will support approximately 165 family farmers producing the leading U.S. brand of pasture-raised eggs by retail dollar sales. ECS Seymour will build upon the foundational key learnings and successes from Vital Farms' egg washing and packing facility in Springfield, MO, Egg Central Station, which opened in 2017 and whose expansion achieved LEED®?
