Our Business
At Ellerslie Farms, care for our people, animals, and land is integral to how we produce eggs – and to the decisions we make as a business.
Based in Queensland’s Darling Downs, we’ve been producing eggs for more than 65 years. Today, Ellerslie Farms is one of Australia’s largest egg producers, supported by a team of dedicated workers and partners. Together, we take pride in delivering the best, while looking after our hens and the land around us.
Innovation & technology
We invest in the latest technology, automation and data systems that support our people and keep the business connected.
Sustainable practices
From renewable energy to water efficiency and waste reduction, we're constantly working to reduce our environmental impact.
Our Supply Chain
One integrated supply chain, from farm transport through to delivery.
Our supply chain connects our farms, grading floors and logistics network. Eggs and packaging move through a closely coordinated process. We uphold food safety, quality and workplace safety standards at every stage, and each product remains traceable to its farm of origin.
Our operations
Multiple divisions working as one business
Many people, skills and moving parts go into producing and supplying eggs. Our teams care for hens, produce feed, grade eggs and provide the services that support our operations.
Our poultry teams care for rearing and laying hens across our caged, cage-free, free-range and organic free-range operations. Specialist veterinary care, nutritional expertise and technical advice support flock health and welfare, and help us produce quality eggs consistently.

Our grading floor teams receive eggs from our farms and use the latest grading technology to assess quality, weight and shell integrity. They then pack eggs to meet customer requirements, with systems that support traceability throughout the process.
