What Willamette Egg Farms Llc does

Willamette Egg Farms LLC is a vertically integrated shell egg and egg products producer headquartered in Canby, Oregon, with additional operations in Moses Lake, Washington. Founded in 1934 by Talmer ("Tom") Dybvad in the Willamette Valley and now part of Versova's family of companies since 2021, the company operates as Oregon's largest egg farm with 200+ employees spanning animal welfare, processing, maintenance, transportation, mill operations, and administrative functions. Its product portfolio includes conventional and specialty shell eggs (white, brown, cage-free, organic, vegetarian-fed, and omega-3) sold in retail and 15-dozen foodservice packs, plus a full line of refrigerated and frozen cage-free liquid egg products (whole eggs, whites, yolks, sugared yolks, and citric-acid variants) available in bags, buckets, and totes. All products are kosher certified, and the company holds American Humane Certified animal welfare certification, operates under full-time USDA supervision, and runs a HACCP-based Best Management Practices program with third-party quality auditing.

The company's go-to-market is a hybrid sales-led and channel-partner motion. It distributes branded fresh shell eggs through direct relationships with a broad set of Northwest grocery retailers — including Grocery Outlet, Safeway, multiple Thriftway stores, Roth's, Zupan's, H-Mart, Uwajimaya, Chuck's Produce, and Sherm's Thunderbird — across Oregon, Washington, Northern California, and Nevada. It simultaneously supplies private-label eggs to two national retail chains: Walmart under the Olympia Valley brand (Oregon, Washington, Alaska) and Walgreens under the Nice brand (Washington, Oregon, Northern California). A separate foodservice channel targets restaurants, hotels, and food manufacturers with bulk shell eggs and processed egg products. Eggs are processed and packaged directly on-farm, supporting a stated value proposition centered on freshness, animal welfare, food safety, and regional provenance. Pricing is wholesale and not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model is straightforward unit-volume wholesale across retail private-label, retail branded, and foodservice segments. Geographic footprint is concentrated in the U.S. Pacific Northwest with selective extension into Alaska via Walmart, and the company explicitly excludes EU audiences from its website. There is no public revenue disclosure, no external funding history, and no indication of institutional or venture capital involvement; ownership resides with Versova, a strategic operating parent that manages multiple egg-farming operations.
