Tim Luberski
President

Hidden Villa Ranch had humble beginnings. The company was founded by Tim Luberski as a family-owned business. His father emigrated from Poland to Riverside, California in the early 1940s and purchased a modest egg-laying chicken ranch called Hidden Villa. Tim learned the importance of a strong work ethic at an early age, stamping egg cartons at age 5, gathering eggs before age 10, and working as a swamper on a delivery truck at age 11.

Tim attended University of San Diego, where he graduated with a B.A. in French and Mathematics in 1973. In 1976, Tim earned his MBA in Finance from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, while Tim was attending USC, his father passed away and his family was forced to sell the ranch. To support his family, Tim began bringing eggs from Riverside County and selling them to customers in Los Angeles, using his apartment as his office.

By 1984, he purchased one of his large competitors, adding supermarket customers to his initial foodservice customers. He established relationships with several new egg producers from all over the country, tapping into their cutting-edge egg grading, processing, supply strengths, and new safety innovations. These strengths provide the ability to service both national and regional chains.
