About 4Grain
4Grain is Cal-Maine's other wholly owned specialty egg brand, sold alongside Farmhouse Eggs and the licensed Egg-Land's Best and Land O' Lakes lines. The company markets organic, vegetarian and omega-3 eggs under the name, in both conventional and cage-free versions. Cal-Maine has invested heavily in cage-free housing in recent years and expects future expansion to keep favouring it, as retailers and restaurant chains work towards cage-free commitments they announced years ago.

About the owner: Cal-Maine Foods
Cal-Maine Foods is a publicly listed company headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi, United States, founded in 1957. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control, and it is listed as NASDAQ: CALM.
Cal-Maine Foods is the largest egg company in the United States by its own account, founded in 1957 and run from Ridgeland, Mississippi. It has acquired and integrated 28 businesses since 1989 and depends heavily on a single customer: Walmart, including Sam's Club, took 30.0 per cent of its net sales in the year to 30 May 2026. In the fourth quarter of that year it split itself into three reporting segments — conventional shell eggs, specialty shell eggs and prepared foods — reflecting a strategy of building an egg-based food business less exposed to the swings in the shell egg price that halved its conventional segment's sales in a single year.
