A little about
OUR FARMERS
Because we take such care to ensure our hens have the best welfare on our own farm, we source eggs from only the best farmers in Ireland whose flocks of hens lay the finest eggs.
The majority of our eggs are laid on our own farm. This is the original farm where the O’Reillys first began their chicken farm to keep up with the growing demand from our customers on the van-run.
​
Since the 1950’s the farm has grown with our customers to ensure continuity of supply. Today over 500,000 hens lay an egg every morning. Our dedicated Farm Managers ensure that our hens are carefully managed and every effort is made to ensure their welfare. After all, only happy hens lay the best eggs.
​
The rest of our Farmers are situated all around Ireland.
These farms are independent businesses and each are run by farming families who have the same commitment to tending to their hens’ welfare and ensuring that they producing the finest eggs as we do.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF OUR MANY SUPPLIERS
THE O'REILLY FAMILY
The O'Reilly Family are located in Castleblayney, County Monaghan. The late Patrick O'Reilly and his wife Margaret first started selling eggs in 1955. Their two sons Michael and PJ took over the running of the hen houses in the late 1970's as well as their own packing centre Annalitten Foods Ltd. They have over 110,000 hens which is now being run by the third generation of the O'Reillys, Damien, Keith and Matthew. The O'Reillys for the third time have invested significantly into the welfare of there hens and have converted into a cage free barn egg production system which will be completed by late 2025. This will mean the O'Reilly farm will be totally cage free.​
