Our story: a family business from Telde

Granja La Cuesta is a family business from Telde, Gran Canaria, with its office at Cruce de San Roque, 20: we produce fresh eggs on our two farms, pack them in our own centre, on the food-business register since 1985, and deliver them only in the Canary Islands.

The years

  1. The beginning

    We are a family business with more than 50 years behind us. It was founded by Ramón Cruz Martín, in Telde.

  2. 1985

    On 15 July, our packing centre at Llanos de Madrid enters the food-business register under the number 14.00616/GC. It is the one still printed on the carton.

  3. 1995

    Since 17 July we have been a limited company: Granja La Cuesta S.L.

  4. 2011 – 2015

    In 2011, Ramón Cruz González is given power of attorney for the company. On 29 December 2015 the founder steps down as director and Eduardo Cruz González takes over; he runs the company today.

  5. 2022 – 2026

    In 2022 we put up solar panels, with a grant from the island council, the Cabildo de Gran Canaria. In 2026 we extend them on both farms.

    Two farms, one packing centre, 20 people and more than 40,000 eggs a day.

    • White carton of 10 class L eggs, with green triangles and the name La Cuesta

We believe in the power of local production to strengthen our economy.
