With Thanksgiving fast approaching the question where do our turkeys come from has been raised both by staff and guests.  

Rossdown Farms of Abbotsford BC is owned and operated by a collection of fifth generation farmers focusing on sustainable practices is where the Vista 18′s turkeys will be coming from this Thanksgiving.  The farm prides itself on being an all in one poultry farmer and processor operating in an environmentally sensitive manner.

Rossdown Farms raises their poultry in a free-run environment.  The term ‘free-run’ refers to the method of animal husbandry allowing animals to roam free in spacious areas giving them the ability to act as they would in their natural habitat, foreging for bugs and seed.  Proper free run conditions ensure more relaxed animals allowing their meat to be less stressed and therefore more tender and flavourful.

Chef will be featuring the Rossdown Farms Turkey breasts throughout the Thanksgiving weekend on our feature 3 course menu.
