LA PAZ, AZ – Becker Development and Consulting LLC, along with Rose Acre Farms held a groundbreaking ceremony for its second egg production farm called Desert Valley Egg Farm in La Paz County, Arizona.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held alongside the Arizona Commerce Authority, La Paz County officials, and legislative and community leaders.

We are excited to see how the farm will contribute to the community as Rose Acre Farms continues to play an important role in Arizona agribusiness,” said Vincent Becker, President of Becker Development and Consulting, LLC and incoming President of the Arizona Partnership for Economic Development.

“Today’s groundbreaking represents a considerable victory for rural Arizona and La Paz County,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority.
