Project

Farm Name
Pasture-Raised Poultry Farm
Farm Project Description

My husband and I are looking to establish a small-scale, family-operated poultry farm focused on egg production and small-scale livestock, with the potential to expand into seasonal vegetable production over time. We are actively seeking to lease a suitable property where we can responsibly operate using sustainable, pasture-raised practices, with a strong emphasis on animal welfare, environmental responsibility, and proper land management. We have developed a detailed business plan outlining our operational approach, production scale, and resource requirements, and my husband, Mojtaba, brings over 10 years of professional experience in poultry farming, providing a solid foundation for managing daily operations effectively. We have also conducted thorough research on sourcing chicks, feed, and necessary materials, and have established a clear plan for production cycles and supply management. In addition, we are committed to continuing our education within British Columbia’s agricultural sector by participating in local training programs, workshops, and seminars to ensure we follow best practices and remain aligned with provincial standards. At this stage, we are looking to begin at a manageable scale, develop the farm responsibly, and build a long-term, positive relationship with the landowner. We are reliable, respectful, and committed to maintaining the land in excellent condition.
