About Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry
OUR FAMILY LOVES TO FARM AND PRODUCE GOOD FOOD. That’s our motto, but it’s not just words to us. We’ve farmed in the Fraser Valley for five generations. Being connected to the land, living together and working with our animals and fields – that’s what the good life means to us. It also means sharing the good food we grow, and seeing what other families create for their dinner table.
FROM OUR FARM TO YOUR FAMILY. Everything is done on our farm, and sent straight to you. We take care of every aspect of raising top quality poultry From laying eggs, to raising chickens and ducks, to butchering, packaging, and shipping, everything is done from our farm. We call it “full circle” farming. When you order poultry from us, you know that everything was raised, processed, and packaged for you in the Fraser Valley, all at the same location at our family farm. We go above and beyond the rules and regulations for health and safety, including daily sanitation of our plant, sanitized work outfits for our employees, and training in hand-washing with the addition of protective gloves.
BEST PRACTICES IN ANIMAL WELFARE. We control every step the goes into raising our specialty poultry, and we care about giving our flocks the best living conditions possible. When you allow your birds to thrive, the result is a top-quality product. Every detail is important to us. That’s why we feed our flocks Canadian whole grains raised by Canadian farmers, we provide fresh water direct from our aquifer (no city water for our birds), and lay down fresh wood-chip bedding. Every single kind of poultry we produce is free run, and enjoys spacious cage-free barns with plenty of natural light. There are no added hormones, animal byproducts in any of our poultry. The health of our birds are monitored constantly.
