Farming’ s

Defined by passion, Griffiths Family Foods boasts one of UK farming’ s greatest family legacies

Nestled in the idyllic Shropshire countryside, the Griffiths Family are egg farmers( through Oaklands Farm Eggs) and processors( via Griffiths Family Foods), with a distinguished family legacy and a big heart. The company was established in 1955 by husband-and-wife team, John Aled Griffiths( OBE) and Olwen Griffiths – remarkable individuals whose passion for farming has propelled the business to great success.

Today, Griffiths Family have a number of businesses, with Oaklands Farm Eggs managed by Elwyn and Gareth Griffiths, who represent the company’ s second generation. Determination and dedication continue to drive the business, which delivers an extensive range of top-quality egg products – all produced with the highest standards of animal welfare and food safety. In 2025, we honor the legacy of Founder Aled Griffiths, who sadly passed away earlier this year. A true pioneer in the farming industry, Aled was Chairman of the British Egg Industry Council( BEIC) and the NFU Poultry Committee, as well as an honorary governor of Harper Adams University, and he was most recently awarded the prestigious Dennis Wellstead Award from the International Egg Commission( IEC) in Tokyo. Without a doubt, Aled’ s impressive legacy will continue to inspire young farmers for many more years to come.
