Hazeldenes is a poultry producer based in Lockwood, Victoria, Australia, with more than eight decades of history guiding its operations. The company farms, processes, and chills chicken products for local butchers, major supermarket retailers, and hospitality venues, emphasizing high and consistent quality across its supply chain. It has long prioritized animal welfare, including early adoption of RSPCA-approved and Free-Range options, viewing care for birds as foundational to a sustainable business model. Originating in Kangaroo Flat, Bendigo, Hazeldenes has grown to operate facilities across rural Victoria and maintain a workforce with diverse skills spanning farming, quality control, engineering, and poultry processing. In March 2026, Hazeldenes reported cyber incidents involving data theft and a ransomware attack that temporarily curtailed operations and led to a shortage of chicken for various customers. The company sits within the Food and Beverage Manufacturing sector, focusing on maintaining high standards from farms through processing to deliver products that meet customer needs.
