What Precautions Are You Taking Year-Round to Ensure Safety and Hygiene?
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:
- A sterilizing team completely sanitizes our plant every evening, and we perform daily, weekly, and annual microbial tests on surfaces. That means we sample the surfaces and test them for germs every day.
- All new employees, no matter if it’s a desk job or a packaging job, attend a mandatory orientation day to learn safe food handling.
- All plant employees must wear fresh, clean clothes every day, and are provided with sanitized overcoats, hard hat, safety goggles, gloves, and steel-toed boots for work.
- Our employees are enrolled in a training program to teach safe food handling.
- We have weekly “Toolbox Meetings” to discuss best safety practices. We discuss a new topic every week.
- It’s one man’s full time job to inspect every single bird we process. This BC Government Inspector assesses every single duck, chicken, squab, goose, and turkey before it can be packaged.
- Our farm manager does health checks on our flocks throughout the day. We continually weigh and assess our birds to make sure they’re doing well, and we have a healthcare plan in place if we suspect our flock is unwell. The health of our duck and specialty chickens is of utmost importance to us, especially because we do not use antibiotics with them.
Who Are You and What Is Your Farm Like?
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.
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).

Do Your Birds Roam Freely Outside?
No, our ducks and chickens are raised without the use of antibiotics, and it’s crucial to maintain their health by providing a controlled environment. They are housed in free-run barns where they are never caged. Our barns are equipped with bedding made from fresh wood shavings for them to scratch and nest comfortably. We feed our birds a nutritious diet of Canadian whole grains and provide them with fresh water from our aquifer, ensuring their well-being and natural growth.
Do You Feed Your Birds a Specific Diet?
Yes, we feed our ducks and chickens a diet of Canadian whole grains and provide them with fresh water from our aquifer. This ensures their nutritional needs are met and supports their health and well-being while they are raised in free-run barns.
