Four generations of passion for poultry
Choosing Lafaut? You’re choosing a family business that’s been committed to delivering top-notch quality for four generations.
This commitment started in the 1940s when our great-grandfather, Gerard Lafaut, set up a farm with 600 laying hens. His son, Azair, had the vision to hatch the eggs from his father’s hens into chicks.
Now, with Koen, Angela, and Maxim—the third and fourth generations—at the helm, Lafaut is expanding into the global export of hatching eggs and day-old chicks. As an independent family-owned company, we're quick, efficient, and competitive.
We still produce a significant portion of our hatching eggs ourselves. That means you're buying directly from the source, with no unnecessary middlemen. Together with our equal, long-term collaborations with Western European breeders, we offer integrations across the globe a steady supply of high-quality hatching eggs.
