Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch, a fourth-generation family-owned egg producer, has unveiled plans for a new egg processing facility in Kendallville, Indiana, representing more than $20 million in economic investment for the region. The 75,000-square-foot plant, currently under construction on Weston Avenue, is expected to begin operations in spring 2026, significantly expanding the company’s processing capacity to meet growing customer demand while providing a major boost to the local economy.
Once operational, the facility will process an estimated 420 million eggs annually a substantial increase in throughput that will support both local egg producers and retail distribution networks across the Midwest. The plant is also projected to create 60 well-paid jobs for Kendallville residents, with hiring already underway. The investment underscores Herbruck’s commitment to local sourcing and community engagement, reflecting its broader expansion strategy beyond its Michigan headquarters.
“Our new Kendallville plant will increase our egg processing capacity to meet customer demand, allow for the local processing of Indiana farm eggs, and distribute eggs directly from the site to our customers,” said Cody Herbruck, Associate Vice President of Operations at Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch. He added that the company is “excited to be part of the Kendallville community and thank local leaders for their support.”
The project has also attracted state tax incentives aimed at encouraging economic development, adding to the regional impact of the investment. Indiana Governor Mike Braun praised the initiative, noting that the facility will “bring good-paying jobs and new opportunities to the area,” while taking advantage of Indiana’s strategic location, often referred to as the Crossroads of America, to enhance the distribution of Hoosier-grown products throughout the Midwest.
Herbruck’s, headquartered in Saranac, Michigan, is one of the nation’s leading egg producers, with operations spanning multiple states. The Kendallville plant marks a significant milestone in the company’s growth, reinforcing its role in America’s food supply chain and demonstrating its long-term commitment to community-centric agribusiness investment.
