Farm FAQ’s
Our farms and orchards are not open to the public, only our market is. We do not offer u-pick, however, there are many places in The Fraser Valley that do. Check out the Circle Farm Tour & BC Strawberries.
We are not certified organic farmers, although our first choice is to use organic practices such as organic sprays, biological controls, and fertilizer/manure from our own farm animals. We also use farming practices that are not organic. We would not grow anything that we wouldn’t feel comfortable with our own family eating.
Yes, we use seeds from corn that has not been genetically modified.

Meat FAQ’s
Our chickens raised on our Fraser Valley Farm are free-run (inside a barn but not caged) with twice as much room as a conventional barn. Allowing for more space in the barns reduces crowding, which leads to healthier and less-stressed birds. Our chickens are free of routinely administered antibiotics, but as we care about the health of our animals, will be medicated under the careful supervision of a veterinarian if their health is at risk. As are all chickens raised in Canada, our birds are not given any added hormones or steroids. Their diet is vegetable-based consisting of corn, barley, wheat, and protein from soy or canola meal. There are no animal by-products in their feed.
The Cattle herd is raised in the Southern Interior of BC. In the spring and summer months, they graze a vast 40,000-acres of private and Crown Range Land. In the winter, the herd comes home to the Fossen Ranch in Rock Creek, where they enjoy a natural diet of grass, silage and grains for optimal flavouring and meat marbling. The Fossen family won the 2022 National Environmental Stewardship Award and use the highest standards of environmental practices to raise their premium Black Angus and Hereford cattle. The Beef is raised without the use of added growth hormones and antibiotics. When the beef arrives at the market, it’s dry-aged for a minimum of 21 days for enhanced flavour.
Raised in the Fraser Valley, our pigs have twice the amount of space as in a conventional barn. Allowing for more space in the barn reduces crowding, which leads to healthier and less-stressed animals. Our pigs are free of routinely administered antibiotics, but as we care about the health of our animals, will be medicated under the careful supervision of a veterinarian if their health is at risk.
“Grass-fed” refers to a diet consisting solely of grass. Our cattle spend the majority of their life on the open range eating only grass, which, later in life, is supplemented with grains and silage.
No they are not.
All of our meats, marinades, and breadcrumbs don’t contain any gluten, however, we choose to call them “gluten aware” rather than “gluten-free” as we are not a certified gluten-free facility. Therefore we would encourage individuals with severe gluten allergies to use discretion with anything we make in-house. Our friendly deli team would be happy to answer any specific questions you may have about specific products.
Our oven-roasted deli meats and fresh sausages are both nitrate and nitrite free. Our dry-cured meats use nitrites as a necessary preservative to increase shelf life, enhance colour, and most importantly, to eliminate the harmful Botulism bacteria. This is the only safe way to prepare them. All cured deli meats use sodium nitrate and nitrite as preservatives to ensure, even those labelled organic or natural.
Our deli team are happy to help you find the nitrate/nitrite free meats available in our meat case.
