Burnbrae Farms

Our History

In 1891, shortly after arriving to Canada from Scotland, Joseph Hudson purchased a farm in the village of Lyn near Brockville, Ontario. He named it Burnbrae, “burn” being the Scottish name for a stream and “brae” the name for a hillside. Back then the farm consisted of just 100 acres, and 130 years later Burnbrae Farms remains in the Hudson family with businesses far and wide across Canada.

From its early beginnings as a dairy farm, Burnbrae Farms evolved into egg production in the ’40s under the guidance of Grant and Joe Hudson. Over the following decades, Burnbrae Farms became an established and integral part of Canadian agribusiness, offering innovative products such as cracked eggs, ensuring quality through extensive grading operations, and expanding its operations across Canada.

Today, Burnbrae Farms eggs and egg products can be found in your local grocery store, restaurants, food-service operations and homes across Canada. They’ve come a long way from the little village of Lyn, but the employees of Burnbrae Farms and the Hudson family remain dedicated to offering tasty and nutritious food to communities nationwide.
