Island Farmhouse Poultry Ltd. was established in 2005 by the Young Family as a way to support and promote Vancouver Island poultry farms.
Since 1999 when large scale commercial processing of chicken left Vancouver Island, consumers have had very little opportunities to purchase Island grown poultry, and new meat inspection laws in British Columbia threatened to put the few remaining processors out of business by 2006. Farmhouse Poultry was established to provide small scale poultry farmers a fully compliant facility to take their poultry for processing, and to provide Island consumers with the opportunity to choose a variety of Island grown poultry choices at select grocers.
