Who We Are
The VFF Egg Group represents the majority of egg production in Victoria, with members farming across three egg production systems – caged, free range and barn laid. Most of our egg farmers are small to medium sized family businesses. We are recognised as the voice of the Victorian egg industry by government and media.
We are a member of Egg Farmers Australia, and a part of Australian Eggs. Australian Eggs is financed by levies on day old chicks paid by egg producers. For information on a national scale, please view Egg Farmers Australia’s website here.
