from our family to yours
Farmer Or Processor? We’re Both. For more than four generations, Rossdown has been dedicated to farming, raising and serving the highest-quality poultry products from the beautiful Fraser Valley. And we’re proud of it. It’s why we’re one of a few farms across the country that do it all — hatch the chicks, feed and grow the birds and then process them in our own CFIA-inspected facility. This allows us to maintain exceptionally high standards at every stage.
Our Farm-to-plate process
1
our breeder farm produce the eggs
Our Rossdown breeder farm, conveniently located near our hatchery, is where the journey to quality begins. Eggs travel a short distance from our farm to our hatchery.
2
our hatchery hatches the eggs
The eggs are incubated at the Rossdown hatchery, where they are incubated and carefully tended to for 21 days. Chicks are transferred to one of Rossdown’s family farms.
3
our farms grow the poultry
Our birds are raised with the highest standards of animal care on family farms across the Fraser and Similkameen Valleys.
4
we process the poultry
Just a short drive from our Fraser Valley farms, our CFIA-regulated, halal-certified plant prepares and packages the highest-quality poultry products, ensuring they reach your table.
5
we deliver to retailers and restaurants
Our team works with a network of highly qualified distributors to ship our fresh and frozen products to retailers and restaurants across the province, country and abroad.
Mission
To inspire community and family through thoughtful food that only starts with good farming.

“It’s Not Just about Raising Poultry.
It’s about everything we do – our values, our vision for a better industry, and a commitment to good food. Four generations of living and farming in the Fraser Valley have instilled in us a drive to push the standards for higher quality chicken and turkey. We believe it’s simple: good food starts with good farming.”
