Saturday Farmers’ Market Vendor Feature: Rockweld Farm Ltd.
A regularly vendor at the Saturday Farmers’ Market since 2016, Rockweld Farm is a core part of the market community! With friendly staff, a wide selection of SPCA-certified meat, and eggs aplenty, Rockweld’s recognizable “chicken truck” is an essential stop during your trip to the market.
Aaron took the time to share with us about this family business and how it came to be.
They have been in operation for 20 years; owners Tim and Flo moved to Abbotsford and their children had health concerns so they tried searching for healthy chicken. Despite their efforts, they couldn’t find anything, so they decided to create a chicken farm themselves!
They grow and process their own chicken at Rockweld; their chicken do not contain any antibiotics or vaccines, are fed certified organic feed, and are SPCA certified (learn more about SPCA certification for farms and what it means here). You can find everything made with exclusively their own chicken: from full roasting birds to breasts, wings, thighs, sausages, burger patties, pepperoni and more. If you’ve got the freezer space or you have a big group to cook for, they even offer larger quantities or packages for discounts! The flavour of their humanely-raised, local chicken is unbeatable and their eggs are always flying fast among marketgoers. Whether it’s a special meal or a weeknight dinner on the barbecue, Rockweld has you covered!
