The company was founded by Peter Funk in 1950 as an egg production, grading and wholesale operation. Today, Golden Valley Foods is the dominant player in British Columbia's egg business, handling approximately 80 per cent of the province's egg production through grading, wholesaling, and distribution of eggs and egg products to major grocery and food service outlets.

Golden Valley has grown in this category as a result of consolidation within the egg sector. The company acquired Claremont Poultry on Vancouver Island and later added the Foremost and Safeway volume as these two companies left the grading business. The final consolidation came when the Vanderpol grading division was purchased by Golden Valley. The company recently consolidated two plants into one and installing the state of the art egg grading equipment which has positioned the company to compete with other grading stations across the west.

In 2006 the company was purchased by a group of egg producers. This event ensure the longevity of the company and will allow Golden Valley Foods Ltd. to continue to provide fresh and top quality products to it's customers for years to come.
