Have a Question?

You might find the answer below

Otherwise, feel free to contact us directly, and we will be happy to help.

Where are you located?

We’re located in Black Creek, BC, just off the Island Highway. Clear signage will point you to the farm entrance. 

What days are you open to the public?

We’re open to the public:

  • Wednesdays & Saturdays

  • 9:00am – 4:00pm

No appointment is needed to visit on open days.

Do you raise your chickens on site?

Yes. All of our chickens are raised right here on the farm in Black Creek.

Do you also process the chickens on site?

Yes. We raise and process our birds on site in our fully licensed, government-inspected poultry abattoir. This keeps handling minimal and freshness high.

Are your chickens free-range or free-run?

Our chickens are free-run, not free-range — and that’s a deliberate choice.

Free-run chickens move freely inside clean, spacious barns designed to protect them from parasites, disease, and harsh weather. Over decades of experience, we’ve found this produces healthier birds than outdoor free-range systems, where chickens are more likely to pick up worms, lice, mites, and illness.

What do you feed your chickens?

Our birds are fed a non-GMO, non-medicated feed. We do not use routine antibiotics.

Do you sell eggs?

No. We do not sell eggs. 

What types of chickens do you sell?

Depending on the season and availability, we offer:

  • Fryers

  • Roosters

  • Cornish Game Hens

  • Capons

Availability can change, so we recommend checking ahead if you’re looking for something specific.

What is a capon?

A capon is a rooster that’s raised longer than a standard chicken, producing a larger, more tender, and flavourful bird. Capons are considered an old-fashioned, boutique poultry option and are especially popular for holiday meals.

Do you sell Cornish game hens?

Yes. We raise Cornish game hens several times a year. These smaller birds are extremely tender and are often compared to veal for their texture and flavour.

Are your chickens fresh or frozen?

We process birds fresh for most of the year.

There are short seasonal periods (typically around April and mid-October) when we offer fresh frozen birds instead. If freshness matters for a specific date, just ask.

Do you sell manure or bark mulch?

Yes, we sell chicken manure and bark mulch. These are popular with local gardeners.

Do you offer poultry processing for other farmers?

Yes. We operate the only licensed poultry abattoir in the area and provide processing services for other local farmers.

All birds are inspected, and we maintain strict cleanliness and handling standards.

Do I need to book abattoir services in advance?

Yes. All abattoir services require advance booking.
Please use our Booking Inquiry page to request availability.

Is your abattoir government inspected?

Yes. Our abattoir is fully licensed and government inspected, in accordance with BC Meat Inspection Regulations.

Can kids visit the farm?

Yes. Families are welcome. Kids especially enjoy seeing the farm — and feeding the donkeys is often a highlight.

Can I just show up, or should I contact you first?

You’re welcome to visit during open hours, but if you’re looking for specific products, large quantities, or abattoir services, we recommend contacting us ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
