Sunny Queen
Sunny Queen is a 100% Aussie farmer owned company, with over 90 years of eggsperience in the industry. Beginning life as the Queensland Egg Board in 1930, Sunny Queen has now become one of the most well-known, and well-loved food brands in the country. From humble beginnings at local farmer’s markets, you can now find a range of Sunny Queen products to suit all Aussie families, available across multiple channels including supermarkets, foodservice, hospitality and aged care.

Our proud Aussie farmers are committed to making sure you wake up to the best quality, fresh farm eggs every day. Each Sunny Queen egg comes from a farm run by experienced, caring farmers – many of whom have produced eggs for generations. It’s fair to say that for our farmers, our chooks always come first, that’s why they work closely with vets and animal nutritionists to ensure our hens are well cared for and healthy.

Our farms can be found across Australia, from North Queensland to regional Victoria. While the landscapes may change, there’s one thing that every Sunny Queen farm has in common, and that’s meeting Australia’s highest standards in egg farming. Together our farms provide Australian families with a fresh, delicious and healthy products every day.

In addition to supplying fresh eggs, we also transform them into delicious products that are manufactured in one of our three facilities. The one in Carole Park produces cooked products, frozen or chilled. The other two facilities are situated in Pittsworth (Platinum Pulp) and outside of Toowoomba (Wellcamp). They both manufacture our liquid egg products.
