June 25th, 2025From meatballs and sausages

The state government is supporting a Geelong based food manufacturing business to continue to grow and create more jobs.

From meatballs and sausages to Angus beef burgers, Farm Foods Australia specialises in manufacturing a range of pre-packaged meat products.

Farm Foods Australia’s manufacturing plant in Breakwater has expanded its production capacity and created 24 new jobs by upgrading its food processing plant with advanced manufacturing technology and equipment.

Funding  from the Labor Government for the new machinery upgrades has enabled Farm Foods Australia to increase production from 20 to 30 trays per minute and significantly improve sales.

The business was founded in a small shop in Birregurra where it sold fresh hand-made meat products and locally sourced wine, cheese and condiments. Its growth led to stores opening in Hamilton and coastal Victoria before branching out into food manufacturing in 2013.

Farm Foods Australia now supplies meat products to all major retailers across Australia with the expansion helping to meet growing demand for the business’ high-quality products.

The Labor Government has invested over $45 billion in projects and programs to create more jobs in regional Victoria, support more community projects and help councils build the infrastructure local communities need.
