JLL Agribusiness as exclusive agent are pleased to present for sale by Expression of Interest, the Southern Cross Farms Portfolio (the Portfolio).
Situated in the Mid-North region of South Australia, the Portfolio comprises a total land area of 205.98* hectares, 29 free-range broiler sheds (61,109* square metres) and 174.98* hectares of dryland cropping & grazing land. The Portfolio has recently secured a Grower Agreement with one of Australia's largest poultry processors (Baiada) and as such, represents the largest free-range farm to produce the renowned Lilydale brand.
