The Heart Behind Our Work
At Windberry Farms, raising chickens is more than a livelihood—it’s a responsibility. Every flock represents our commitment to quality food, ethical farming, and care for both the animals and the land. As a family-run farm in Abbotsford, we take pride in producing organic chicken that meets the highest standards for health, welfare, and sustainability.
Farming in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley
The Fraser Valley is one of Canada’s richest agricultural regions. Its temperate climate, fertile soils, and access to clean water allow us to grow crops and raise animals with minimal environmental footprint. But farming here also means meeting some of the most rigorous food safety and environmental regulations in the country—standards we proudly exceed.
Our Approach to Organic Chicken Farming
Our chickens are raised in modern, climate-controlled barns designed to provide comfort, cleanliness, and natural behaviors.We follow certified organic standards, which include:
Feeding birds 100% certified organic feed with no GMOs, animal by-products, or synthetic additives.
Providing enriched environments with access to natural light, space to move freely, and outside areas when appropriate.
As with all chicken grown in Canada, we ensure no antibiotics or growth hormones are ever used.
Maintaining strict biosecurity and traceability at every stage—from chick placement to harvest.
Every decision we make, from feed sourcing to energy use, is guided by a respect for the animal, the consumer, and the environment.
Technology and Tradition Working Together
We use advanced monitoring systems to ensure barns remain at ideal temperatures and humidity levels. Our heat exchangers reclaim warmth from outgoing air, while Agrimesh AI technology continuously fine-tunes conditions for comfort and energy efficiency.Yet, we never lose the human touch—every flock is checked daily by our team to ensure birds are healthy, active, and thriving.
Sustainability from Soil to Sky
Manure from the barns is composted and returned to our own fields, closing the nutrient cycle and building long-term soil health. Each season, we look for new ways to conserve energy, capture waste heat, and invest in sustainable infrastructure.
Why Supporting Local Matters
When you choose local organic chicken, you support real families—farmers who live where they work and who care deeply about the land and animals in their care. You help sustain the next generation of food producers in British Columbia.
At Windberry Farms, we believe good food starts with integrity, and we’re proud to share that with every meal that carries our name
