Australian family-owned chicken producer since 1938, operating broiler breeder farms, poultry processing and distribution across regional Victoria under the Hazeldenes Chicken and The Bare Bird brands.
Hazeldenes is an Australian family-owned food producer whose operations extend from broiler breeder farms through poultry processing to distribution across regional Victoria. For transport and logistics candidates, the relevant span is the company's movement of finished product from its regional Victorian base to markets more widely in Australia, supported by warehousing, fleet and quality-control functions that sit alongside the processing operation. The business has been in operation since 1938 and was founded at Kangaroo Flat, near Bendigo; it is now headquartered at Lockwood, near Bendigo, Victoria.
The company produces premium quality chicken under the Hazeldenes Chicken brand, and also owns The Bare Bird, a free-range chicken brand. Its workforce covers farming, poultry processing, engineering, logistics and quality control, with food safety and quality assurance standards applied across all operations. The business holds RSPCA Approved Farming certification, and animal welfare forms part of its stated operating commitments.
As a family-run company, Hazeldenes describes itself as a legacy rather than a brand alone, with a stated goal of providing Australians with Australian chicken. Its farms and facilities are concentrated in regional Victoria, with headquarters at Lockwood near Bendigo.
