Our Farm

five-generation farmers, plus awesome staff

Our family has been farming in Canada for five generations now, and it goes back many more years in what is now the Ukraine. But our staff are family too, from a myriad of backgrounds and skill sets. Dozens of our employees are related to each other, or to the Falk family. Our staff list could read like a family tree.

Together we are farmers who care, with the motto “Our family loves to farm and produce good food.”

who owns fraser valley specialty poultry?

Ken and Iris Falk own Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry, and are delighted to have their own adult children in management roles on the farm. We are not owned by any outside investors – we’re just a Canadian family with a passion for raising specialty poultry in the Fraser Valley.

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, or antibiotics used in any of our poultry. The health of our birds are monitored constantly.

Our Fraser Valley Hometown

 

Everyone knows each other in Yarrow, the small farming community nestled between the Cascade Mountains and the Fraser River.

Our family farm is steps away from The Old Yale Wagon trail – the historic path farmers used to take along the mountain to bring their goods to customers downtown. And we’re right next to the train tracks that have connected rural communities to Vancouver for more than 100 years.

To the north is Vedder River (a world-class fishing spot), and to the south Vedder Mountain (famous for mountain biking). We even have a mountain biking trail named after us, the Duck Farm Loop. If you’re ever in town, come say hi at our shop, The Farm Store in Yarrow.
