Kawano Farms Ltd  

Kawano Farms Ltd

The facility encompasses over 13,000 square feet, meets the specifications in the BC Abattoirs Code of Good Practice, and was designed to meet federal and provincial licensing standards. The family is a proud member of the BC Association of Abattoirs.

The facility includes cutting, chilling and cooler rooms, as well as smoker, sausage making and packaging areas. The plant is kept immaculately clean; every evening the processing machines are taken apart, washed, and left apart overnight to dry. The plant is washed out with soapy water every evening.

The facility is not large. Kawano Farms has the capacity to slaughter up to 30 head of beef per day, or a larger number of smaller animals. The number of animals processed in a year at Kawano Farms is less than a large processing plant will process in an afternoon, but this small scale operation ensures that animals are treated with respect and the finished product is of the highest quality.
