Our History
With a deep rooted history in family values since 1924, our farm continues to grow!
Once a small farm with cows, pigs, and 54 chickens and later a hatchery and eventually an egg farm,
Kreher Family Farms has grown into a leading industry partner in egg production. Our farm operations have expanded to include compost & fertilizer production and crop productions for our hens and customers. We will never stop growing!
