Established by Margaret and Leo Farrelly in 1983, and still run by them with the help of three of their four children, this family business on the Meath-Cavan border is Ireland’s leading producer of Bord Bia approved free-range eggs and Ireland's only producer of pasteurised free-range eggs.
Perhaps because they have produced eggs on a smaller scale for fifteen generations, the Farrellys have succeeded where others in the egg production industry have failed - and, aside from hard work, this is down to the high standards that are the basis of their business through good times and bad, instilling customer loyalty that has stood them in good stead.
Using traditional farming methods and always determined to pursue free range and organic egg production, the Farrelly's Clonarn Clover range includes O’Egg branded organic eggs (supplied to Clonarn Clover by a certified organic egg farmer), brown and white shell eggs and - exclusively - pasteurised liquid free range eggs (whole egg and whites only), which are available in retail sizes and also a godsend to bakers and the quality-led end of the catering industry.
The story is inspiring and the product - also sold as Margaret's Free Range Eggs - is terrific. We just love it when we see them named-checked on good breakfast menus.
