After high school, Bruce Dooyema pursued a career on the family farm southwest of Sioux Center doing both dairy and egg production. After a dairy barn fire in the fall of 1986, the Dooyema family decided to turn their attention to egg production only. Today, the farm — Center Fresh Egg — has operations in four counties in Iowa and also in the African nation of Mozambique. Center Fresh Egg Farm was formed in 1996 and now is the nations leader in egg production and processing.
As a father of three daughters, Dooyema knows that his family expects the same high-quality, affordable and safe eggs that consumers demand. As an egg farmer, he is committed to doing what is right for his hens, the environment and his community. Bruce is proud to provide Americans and those in Mozambique with affordable and nutritious food
Dooyema currently serves on various boards and committees: American Egg Board, United Egg Producers, Iowa Egg Council, Sioux Center Community Hospital & Health Center, Farmer Alliance Group, American Farm Bureau Advisory Committee, and Sioux Center Agriculture Committee. He is also a member of the Sioux Center Ambulance Squad and enjoys family, Golf, traveling, and growing the mission field around the world, including the African nations of Mozambique and Swaziland. He has been a life-long member of Bethel Christian Reformed Church in Sioux Center, Iowa.
