Overview
From humble beginnings in 1951 to becoming one of the UK\'s leading egg producers, Fairburns Eggs is built on family values, dedication, and a passion for excellence. For three generations, we\'ve nurtured our hens, innovated our processes, and grown our business—all while staying true to our roots.
On Valentines Day 1951, our founder, Leslie James Fairburn (Jim), bought 150 chickens for £150, marking the start of a small family poultry business. Little did he know, this modest investment would lay the foundation for what is now one of the largest independent egg producers and packers in the UK.
Fast forward to today, and the Fairburn family\'s commitment to excellence continues. Now in its third generation, our farm and partners produce and pack over 14 million eggs per week, supplying major retailers and businesses across the country.
From the introduction of our own milling operation to the launch of our exclusive British Blue eggs, every step of our journey has been driven by innovation, quality, and family values.
Fairburns Eggs remains a 100% family-run business, now led by Daniel Fairburn, alongside his sisters Caroline and Sarah. Together, they carry forward the vision set by their grandfather, ensuring the next generation of Fairburns continues to drive the business forward.
With over 250 dedicated employees, a fully integrated production process, and a firm commitment to sustainability, we\'re not just producing eggs—we\'re shaping the future of British farming.
