About me

Introduction	Hillandale Farms began in 1958 when Orland Bethel switched career paths and borrowed money to purchase an egg reselling business. Over the next few years, Orland expanded into West Virginia and Pittsburgh, and by the '60s, the business started supplying the A&P and Giant/Eagle markets. In the subsequent years, Hillandale Farms expanded into more locations, including Iowa and Chicago. Orland also started growing the business vertically, incorporating grading into Hillandale Farms' offering. By the mid-'70s, the company had spread to Florida and started raising chickens for the first time. Soon after, in 1980, Orland's son, Gary, joined the company full-time. By 2000, Hillandale Farms included sites in historic Gettysburg and Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, and was raising and caring for almost 10 million chickens. Today, Hillandale Farms raises over 20 million chickens for eggs and is one of the top 5 egg producers in the United States.
