Welcome to Tamar Valley Pastured Eggs

Tamar Valley Pastured Eggs was started in 2017 by three Queenslanders embarking on a tree change and respite from the heat. The farm is located 30 minutes from Launceston in Glengarry, part of the beautiful West Tamar region.

Our philosophy is based on principles of sustainable farming that utilises stock rotation to regenerate pasture, minimising the need for harsh chemicals. This delivers quality products and ensures that our farm has a positive not negative impact on the pasture.

Pastured egg farming maximises hen welfare and is much lower density than allowable under free range. It also ensures that hens are always given access to pasture, which is better for the paddocks and the hens. Whilst a more labour intensive way of farming, the end result is high quality, delicious eggs and very happy hens!

At Tamar Valley Pastured Eggs we raise a mixed flock of laying hens, purchased from an experienced and well known breeder. Some the breeds that make up our flock are Lowmann, Australorp, Isa and Rhode Island Red, which were chosen for their egg laying quality and easy-going temperament.
