Our mission here at Central Park Farms is to not only play a part in feeding our community, but to help connect you to exactly where your food is coming from and how it was produced.
Let’s take this journey together and get back to a true understanding of local agriculture!
I’m your official tour guide for all things Central Park Farms!
Now you might be asking yourself how I ended up with this job, well it’s quite simple you see — Back in 2015, I started this farming journey and have taken our community along from the very beginning.
While we’re no longer a one-woman-show, you’ll still find me in the story telling position. Every blog post, newsletter, and square on Instagram, is me.
So let’s get down to business, learning about local agriculture, but before we go — Thank you for letting our family help feed yours and for joining me as we navigate farming and ranching here, in British Columbia.
So how did we get here?
Where does our story begin?
After falling for my 5th-generation farmer Jay, I set out to learn everything about his previous life as the owner and operator of a large-scale quail farm.
The more I learned about the industry, the more I realized the labels I trusted on the meat at the grocery store didn't mean what I thought they did.
And, I finally knew it first hand…
Why we started Central Park Farms
After struggling to get answers on where our food was coming from and how it was being raised we set out to get the answers the only way we could, by raising it ourselves. Now, it’s become our goal to help our community access premium, well-raised meat.
We believe raising our animals right and feeding them a high-quality diet leads to the finest meat that you can feel good about feeding to your family. Our meat is free of antibiotics and added hormones and our animals are raised in a manner that supports their unique needs.
Having started with our non-GMO fed, free-range chicken in 2015, we soon moved into pasture raised pork, followed by eggs from our pasture raised hens, and then in 2018 our 21 day dry aged, grass-fed and grass-finished Black Angus beef.
As we grew, it became clear that we needed more room for our animals to roam so we purchased a 160-acre off-grid ranch in Rock Creek, BC. Now we raise our animals between a 40 acre farm we lease in Langley and our ranch in Rock Creek, BC.
We believe in transparency over certifications – You want to know how our animals are raised? We welcome your questions and open the doors of our farm through social media.
We want you to know the farmers behind your meals!

“I love working with Central Park Farms. The transparency that comes when you meet the farmers and know where the food is coming from, it gives you piece of mind to know that you’re supporting top quality honest meat and changing our industrial cycle. Together we can all make the change!”
— Trevor Bird, Top Chef Canada & Fable Restaurant
“I’m at the farm several times a week, picking up product. I see how invested they are in their farm and in the care they take raising their animals. As for quality and consistency, I use their products in my events, classes, and am proud to partner with them. I would not hesitate to recommend their products!”
— Adrian Beatty, Owner & Chef, Salt & Thyme
“When I first met with Kendall, she welcomed my family to the farm and taught the kids how she raises her animals first hand. I was so impressed by not only the quality of her products but the care she gives to her animals. I knew that I needed to bring them onboard as a supplier at The Observatory.”
