About the company
Greenfield Foods are the leading supplier of eggs in Ireland. We grade, pack and distribute approximately 6 million eggs per week nationwide with the help of our 56 full time and 16 part time staff.
All our eggs come from local Irish farms that are approved by Bord Bia under the Sustainable Egg Assurance Scheme. Our products include eggs from all production types – Free Range, Organic, Barn and Enriched colonies. We have a production base of over 1 million birds from 63 farm sites owned by producers across counties Monaghan, Cavan, Meath, Westmeath, Sligo and Galway.
We also pack speciality products such as Omega-3 enriched Free Range and Cornfed Free Range. As well as supplying the major retailers with their own branded products, we also pack our own brands including Greenfield, Ballyfree, Omega, Big & Jumbo and Innisfree.
