Since 1987 Lenard’s has had a passion for using only the freshest chicken and best ingredients to create handmade, innovative and convenient chicken products. This unique concept of value-adding to chicken has established us as a leader in the fresh food marketplace, and now after 34 years in business we are venturing into new retail models, including manufacturing and home delivery. And we are ready to find the perfect partners to join our business and share the love!
Australians love chicken and they’re eating more every week than any other meat. They now eat 47.7kg of chicken per year – 54% more than 15 years ago. During this time beef consumption has fallen from 34.9kg to 26.7kg. There has never been a better time to be in the chicken business!
