Yes, $100 is the minimum order. We do this for several reasons. First, in order to optimize shipping arrangements, there must be a minimum order. Second, it’s important to have plenty of frozen poultry packed in tight together – if it’s just one piece with an ice pack, the meat will get bumped around, resulting in a less quality product. Third, it’s more efficient in terms of packaging to send more at one time, rather than many small orders.
There is no maximum order at this time. This may change in the event that our inventory is affected by high volume.
Our plant is authorized to process poultry for sale in BC only, and we cannot ship or sell our products outside of the province.
We ship within the province of British Columbia, including Vancouver Island. We use FedEx as our carrier, so if FedEx Priority can reach you, then so can a frozen box of poultry.

Our prices are higher than what you might expect in a grocery store. This reflects the convenience, safety, and quality of receiving your frozen poultry directly from your farmer. We calculate our prices based on cost to raise our poultry, along with the hidden costs incurred in shipping.
Our poultry is raised, processed, and shipped from our farm to your family, which requires special materials:
We are unable to offer pick-up at this time. Our packaging and shipping area is not set up to be safely accessible to the general public.
We calculate shipping times based on where you live. Shipping times can change depending on the season and inclement weather.

No. Your frozen meat box is insulated and packed with ice packs, so it stays frozen solid until you get home the night of your delivery. If you think you’ll be away the entire day of your delivery, then please make arrangements with a kindly neighbour.
Yes! If you have a controlled entrance, you need to be home, and provide us with your buzzer code for entry, and/or inform your concierge of the delivery. If you’ve had problems receiving packages in the past, you’re better off having it shipped to your workplace or a friend’s house.
There’s free shipping on orders above $150. If your order is between $100 and $149, you will be charged a $25 shipping fee.
It is up to you to ensure your frozen meat box is taken care of once it’s delivered. If you cannot be home on the day your frozen meat box arrives, please arrange with a friend to have them pick it up and put it in their freezer. We are not responsible for the care of your frozen meat after it has been delivered to you.
We recommend that you transfer your frozen poultry to your freezer as soon as you receive it.
Depending on how far away you live from us, your box will contain either frozen ice packs or dry ice, which will keep your poultry frozen until you can get home in the evening to put it in your freezer.
Dry ice dissipates between 24 and 48 hours from the time of shipment. We do not recommend you leave the frozen meat in its box overnight.
Absolutely yes! Send food to someone who can’t leave their home, ship gifts to your foodie friends, or help someone who is less fortunate and needs some help. You can ship your food to another address if you can’t be home for delivery.
You can manage your addresses in MY ACCOUNT. Please keep in mind that we only ship within BC.
We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused! If your order arrives damaged, or if there’s any other problem, please get in touch with us through our CONTACT US page. It would be helpful if you would take pictures of the problem so we can visualize how to fix it.
Email online.store@fvsp.ca and we’ll get back to you asap.
We don’t like excessive packaging, and neither do our customers! We use plain cardboard boxes, with insulation that is made completely out of paper products (so it’s both compostable and recyclable). We line the insulated box with a big clear plastic bag, then load it up with vacuum-sealed poultry and ice packs. We add a bit of brown paper so the meat won’t get jostled around, throw a few recipe cards and a thank you card on top, then seal it with regular box tape, and top it off with our own branded Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry branded tape.
All poultry is “freshly frozen” on a weekly basis. We raise and process the poultry on our home farm, freeze it immediately, then ship it to you.
Our ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook products are prepared in large batches then frozen for shipment, several times throughout the year.
We use top quality vacuum-sealed packs for our poultry. When you store our frozen poultry in a typical freezer that’s in good repair, you can consume it within 1 year of receiving your frozen meat box.
The day before you intend you use your poultry, simply take the package out of your freezer and place it in your fridge without opening it. If you want to speed up that process and use it the same day, we recommend immersing the package in a vessel of cold water. Time varies depending on size – for example, chicken wings will defrost quickly while a whole duck will take much longer. Please see the Health Canada website for best practices of thawing meat.
It is safe to eat pork casing. However, some people choose to abstain from pork for personal or religious reasons.
Our duck farmer sausage and duck blueberry sausage contain pork casing. Our smoked duck breast does not contain pork casing, but is processed in a facility that also processes smoked pork products.
Farming is considered an “essential service” along with healthcare services, and as such we are staying in operation.
These are our year-round precautions to avoid illness:
Because we ship directly from our sanitized plant to your door, it significantly decreases the spread of COVID-19 through direct contact (when compared to visiting a grocery store, or ordering through a service that requires heavy handling and packaging of your products).
Fully defrost the duck confit using your favourite method. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees, remove the confit from its plastic packaging, and place on a baking tray (we recommend using parchment paper on the tray).
Warm in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until heated through.
Fully defrost the BBQ duck using your preferred method. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Remove the duck from its plastic packaging, and place on a baking tray (we use parchment paper to make clean-up easier).
Place in the middle rack, and heat for 35-45 minutes, until heated through.
These products can be served cold or warm.
For serving cold, defrost using your favourite method, then thinly slice. We like serving them this way for charcuterie boards on on top of salads.
For serving warm, first fully defrost. They are fully cooked already, so your options are endless. You can pan sear them, bake to warm them up, thinly slice and fry until crispy, slice up and add to casseroles, or use in sandwiches.
We are the Falk family! We live and work on our family farm, and we are dedicated to making every aspect of our poultry production the best it can be. We love to farm and produce good food!
We are hard at work in every stage of raising and processing our flocks, right up to the moment we put your frozen meat box on the truck. Many of our staff members are also literally in our family, or they are related to each other! Many of our workers feel like family because they’ve been here for so long (and we hired their relatives too).

Our ducklings are started in a warm, cozy barn before they’re old enough (and have enough feathers) to move into an open-airflow barn. Always free run, our ducks are never caged. They enjoy an unlimited supply of fresh well water from the aquifer, as well as Canadian grains only. Fresh wood shavings are added every day.
We oversee the entire lifespan of our duck flocks, from ordering in “grandparent stock” from France, to raising ducks for breeding the eggs, to collecting and hatching eggs, and then raising the birds. It’s full-cycle farming, ensuring health and wellness of our poultry at every stage.
Our chickens are raised without the use of antibiotics, so it’s vitally important to keep the flocks healthy. They enjoy a free run barn and are never caged, with bedding made from fresh wood shavings for them to scratch. We feed them a diet of Canadian whole grains and fresh water.
Our Loong Kong (Taiwanese) chicken are in free run barns, with carefully controlled lighting and temperature for optimal growth. Never caged, the flocks enjoy scratching at their bedding of wood shavings, and eating Canadian whole grains and drinking fresh well water from the aquifer. Our Loong Kong (Taiwanese) chicken are raised for much longer than your typical grocery-store chicken in order to plump up their dark meat in the leg muscles and wings.
Squabs are raised completely differently than our other poultry flocks. While they are also free run (and free fly within the barn), we take care of every stage of development continuously, together in one barn. That means the parent birds have access to Canadian grains, they breed and lay their eggs, hatch them themselves, and feed their own young until maturity, whenever they want. The squabs that reach full weight for harvest are then hand-selected from the flock.
We raise our duck on the family farm, but when it comes to smoking duck and making sausages, we outsource it to the experts. Our duck farmer sausage, duck pepperoni, and smoked duck breast are made by Johnston’s Local Quality, and blueberry duck sausage is made by Stapleton Sausage, using our local duck.
We are happy to partner with foodies who take our poultry and create delicious smoked meats and meals – a great way for our customers to try duck for the first time.
Please note that our ready-to-eat duck is processed in a facility that also processes smoked pork products, and our duck farmer sausage and duck blueberry sausage contain pork casing. We mention this to be sensitive to people’s religious and personal choices surrounding pork products.
