About us

BC's original organic chicken farmers, Thomas Reid Farms has been leading the way since 1992, raising healthy birds and setting the standard for sustainable agriculture.

BC’s Organic Chicken Trailblazers

Thomas Reid Farms wasn’t following trends, they were setting them. In 1992, Thomas Reid Organic Farms became BC’s first certified organic chicken farm, the culmination of a family legacy.

The Reid family brought their agricultural expertise to the West Coast in the 1970s. Their passion for sustainability and animal welfare laid the foundation for modern organic chicken farming, inspired by progressive programs and standards that are still used in BC today.

The early days were challenging. Consumers didn’t understand organic, and many doubted its viability. But for the Reids, it was a way of life. They were determined to educate people and change perspectives on food.

They started small, converting a barn and raising 500 organic chickens within three months. Choices became their first buyer, followed by Whole Foods and others. By the mid-90s, Thomas Reid Farms was fully organic.

What Makes Us Different?

We believe in meticulous care for our birds and the environment. Our chickens are free-range with access to pastures. They’re never given antibiotics, hormones, or medications. Their feed is a balanced, non-GMO blend of corn, soy, and wheat, with no animal by-products.

Our commitment is unwavering.
