We at Producers Pride aren’t trying to start any revolutions.
But if you’re an independent egg producer—or if you’d like
to be —we can help you get the kind of freedom you want
without jeopardizing your income*
Producers Pride is, a cooperative. IPs owned and controlled
entirely by producers who want a voice in how their eggs
are marketed. We've been in business since 1952. For over 34
years. Producers Pride members have been getting paid
every week for their previous week’s egg shipments. We have
never, ever missed a week.
When you join Producers Pride, you become part owner
of the business* And since we 1 re not a giant co-op, your Voice
as an owner is important*
You’ll be joining a small organization—fewer than 200
producers—but we have the volume to service a growing
market. And our markets are growing, thanks to the dedicated
efforts of a small but hard-working and very capable staff.
We are your friends and neighbors in the egg business.
We enjoy-beiog independent, and we enjoy having a
guaranteed market for our eggs.
This is the year for independence, and producers Pride
is looking for a few more good members. If you’d like more
information, put your John Hancock on the coupon below
and mail it
