Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? At Cal-Maine Foods, it's the egg, and the company's 27 million laying hens can attest to that. It is one of the largest fresh shell egg producers in the US. Cal-Maine sells its eggs to US food retailers. It produces value-added specialty eggs (organic, Omega-3 enhanced, free range) that it sells under the Egg-Land's Best and Farmhouse labels. The company controls all aspects of the business, from hatching chicks, making feed, housing hens, and distributing eggs. Its operations include two breeding facilities, two hatcheries, five distribution centers, 19 feed mills, 37 shell-egg production operations, 26 pullet-growing facilities, and 31 processing and packing sites.

Turning a delicious but odd-shaped fruit into a household favorite wasn’t in the plan when a group of grower-hobbyists banded together in 1924 to form the California Avocado Growers Exchange. And two more years would pass before Rudolph Hass of La Habra, California, would plant the state’s first Hass avocado tree.At the time, avocado growers had no quality standards, no distribution channels, and only one facility, a packinghouse in Vernon, California. During that first year, the Growers Exchange packed 18,000 pounds of avocados from that packinghouse and, in doing so, launched an industry.Though the Vernon packinghouse has long since closed, the company that sprang from that Growers’ Exchange - now known as Calavo Growers, Inc. - is still going strong some 81 years later. In 2005, this publicly traded, diversified, global agribusiness packed approximately 35 percent of the California avocado crop, nearly double the market share of its closest competitor. Three modern packinghouses - strategically located in Santa Paula and Temecula, California, and Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico - teem with productivity and thrive on volume, packing approximately 200 million pounds per year. The company is now headquartered in Santa Paula, California and employs more than 500 people.
