Lakeland Feeds
The feed mill idea began in 2018 when we placed our first flock of laying hens. Being an organic farm we were forced to ship feed from the Fraser Valley or Alberta which put us at high risk of losing feed supply. It also increased our cost of production significantly with increased transportation and significantly increased our environmental footprint. We saw a great opportunity to not only utilize the organic grain crops we were producing on the farm but also to have increased control over the critically important nutrition of our hens. Construction completed in Nov 2020 after which we spent 6 months feeding our own flock, testing and improving our system with guidance from Poultry Partners (nutrition consultants). In the spring of 2021 we began commercial production of organic feed for poultry, ruminants, swine. In 2022 we expanded in to bagged feed for smaller producers. We now have a diverse customer base from Abbotsford, to Whitehorse and East in to the Prairie Provinces. We pride ourselves not only in the quality of our feed but the relationships and trust we’ve created with our producers.
We have designed the mill, the ingredients, the process and storage for what we saw would benefit our production because we’re farmer’s too! We source our ingredients from our own production with a high focus on Western Canadian products for volumes and items we can’t supply ourselves.
We hope that our businesses can be a leader not only in animal health and production but also in a strong, sustainable and secure food system in BC!

Okanagan Made
Regional food security has become vitally important and its a big reason why we are here. We didn’t have a local source of organic feed for our farm which created this great opportunity in the feed mill. We are happy to grow a good chunk of our ingredients on our own organic farm in Salmon Arm.

Roller mill
A key to the quality of our feed is our roller mill. Grind size is highly adjustable, extremely accurate, and you will find high uniformity and low levels of dust is our feed.
Focus on digestive health
Nutrition science is waking up to the importance of digestive health and the microbiome. No different than healthy soil growing healthy plants, the microbes in our livestock’s digestive system affect their overall health and performance. We focus on clean ingredients, fiber levels, organic/natural additives, and the long game is increasing the nutrient density of our food.
