Duncan Farms has strengthened its position within Scottish retail after securing a major new listing with Tesco, bringing its premium free range Duncan’s Eggs to 65 stores across the country.
The move marks a significant milestone for the Aberdeenshire-based family business, as it continues to scale in response to growing consumer demand for high-quality, locally produced eggs. The Tesco partnership will make Duncan’s Eggs more widely accessible to shoppers, further cementing the brand’s presence within the Scottish grocery sector.
The retail expansion follows a £4.5 million investment by Duncan Farms over the past six months, aimed at enhancing its fully integrated field-to-fork model. Key developments include the creation of a new rearing site outside Turriff and a feed store facility near Banff, both strategically located close to the company’s packing centre and farming operations. These additions are designed to support increased production while maintaining the business’s focus on quality, traceability and high animal welfare standards.
The launch comes at a time of rising egg consumption across the UK. The average person now consumes around 209 eggs per year, compared to 169 in 2004, driven by growing demand for nutrient-rich, high-protein foods and a shift towards simple, minimally processed ingredients.
Rachael Duncan, owner of Duncan Farms, described the Tesco listing as a key step forward for the business.
“Launching Duncan’s Eggs in Tesco stores across Scotland is a significant milestone for our business and an important step in making our Scottish free range eggs more accessible to consumers,” she said.
“This achievement reflects our continued investment in Duncan Farms. In recent years, we’ve strategically invested across every stage of our field-to-fork process, from our rearing and laying farms to our feed production and packing facilities. These investments ensure we can continue to deliver the quality, traceability and the high welfare standards our customers expect.
“As more people choose nutritious, locally produced food, we’re proud to be working with Tesco to bring more Scottish shoppers our truly traceable, nutritious free range eggs.”

Alongside its retail growth, Duncan Farms continues to build its wider brand presence, including its role as an Official Supporter of Team Scotland for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. The partnership reflects shared values around performance, nutrition and sustainability, with eggs recognised as a natural source of high-quality protein.
The Tesco listing represents the latest step in Duncan Farms’ ongoing retail expansion, following a year of growth across several major supermarket partners. As the business continues to invest in its operations, it remains focused on championing Scottish agriculture while delivering consistently high-quality free range eggs from field to fork.
