New York-based Handsome Brook Farm LLC will invest $6.4 million to establish a new pasture raised egg processing operation in Berryville and Clarke County, Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced Wednesday.
The business has committed to purchasing $50 million in Virginia-sourced eggs over the next three years, and plans to contract with more than 100 Virginia farms.
Virginia successfully competed against Pennsylvania for the project, which will create 105 new jobs. It is the largest jobs announcement for Clarke County on record, and the first economic development announcement in Clarke County during McAuliffe’s administration.
