Irvings Farm Fresh Ltd is an independent business owned by our family. We raise a small herd of purebred Berkshire pigs, and operate a meat processing facility for the production of speciality pork products, from both home raised and locally bought pork.
The farm is located right on the edge of the Hamlet of Round Hill, which is situated on Highway 834 between Tofield and Camrose, approximately one hour Southeast of Edmonton, Alberta.
The business is managed by our family from our home. Our small farm comprises 78 acres which is currently a mix of pasture and cultivated land. Our small herd of Berkshire pigs is pastured during the milder months, and partially housed during the winter. The farm is also the site of our meat processing facility, a modern 1500 ft2 building, which houses our processing equipment and storage facility. Customers are welcome to visit both the farm and meat facility, but please call ahead to make sure someone will be at home!
Our philosophy is to produce tasty, nutritious products using only natural and wholesome ingredients, many of which are produced locally. We believe it is increasingly important that our family eat food that has had minimal processing, and is free from artificial additives, preservatives, colours and flavours. We do our best to ensure that the products that we sell are also produced in this way. Our customers are those who care about nutrition and quality, and believe it is time to ‘junk the junk’. We also focus a large proportion of our products for those with gluten intolerance. The need for gluten free products is ever increasing.
Buying locally is also of great importance to us - when you buy locally, it strengthens the local economy and keep the dollars you spend closer to home. It also reduces environmental impact and ensures that local economies are more sustainable. In addition to these benefits, you help to retain the character of your local community, and most of all you get to eat tasty, nutritious food.
We would like to invite you to take some time and look around our website, discover what we have to offer, and to pass back comments to us on the contact us page.
