My family and I made the decision some years ago to be more responsible about the food we eat. Since, after all, you truly are what you eat.
In searching for a beef provider that maintained no hormone and healthy pasture life, we came across Katissa Poultry’s beef.
We saw that the cows at Katissa lead an ideal lifestyle, pasture space, lush grass and were fed grain to ensure a healthy fat cover.
Upon each member of my family, including myself, eating only the beef from Katissa Poultry, as well as the chicken, we noticed we felt healthier. The beef did not give us indigestion, ever.
I, myself, found I had more energy.
And the taste…. it is like I never had beef before. The flavour is delicate yet rich. This is what beef is actually supposed to taste like.
I will never, ever eat store bought beef again.
Thank you Chris!

The quality of your product as well as the service you provide are truly outstanding in every way. I tell all my friends about you, especially when the visit here and rave about how I am such an excellent cook. You can’t be an excellent cook without excellent ingredients – which start with you!
Every time I pick up an order from you or take something out of the freezer to prepare, I still get amazed at the size of your chicken legs with very little fat – and then the taste – it simply does not compare to anything commercially – actually showing how anemic everything else really is.
All the other products as well are just so wonderful!
On my last visit, you shared with me some of the difficulties you were having with my order, yet the order was absolutely perfect in every way – absolutely no decline in service or product in spite of the difficulties you experienced. Nowhere else have I ever experienced such service and caring for product and customer. Surly you went way above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for being the kind of person who cares about the product you make as well as your customers.
Until next time….

Dear Katissa,
Wow, thank you! You make me a “Chef” no matter what recipe I use. Your chickens, pork, beef, are all so incredible, and now that I have come to know a bit about how you nurture them, I understand that it is your feeding program, the environment that they enjoy while growing up, and the love that you have for them – it all comes through in the final product. The quality that you supply so far surpasses anything that is found anywhere else, it simply makes me a customer for life. I just wish I could find the time to spend at the farm gate and let every single passer-by know what I have experienced. But then If I did that – I may not be able to get a single cut of the finest that is grown in British Columbia. Thank you so much for what you have done for my kitchen, my table and my culinary soul.

Dear Chris,
You know I grew up in Eastern Europe where many of my friends lived on farms, and I was able to enjoy the best farm products of that day, so I have been especially pleased to find a farm who practices such high standards as yours right here in British Columbia. What you market is remarkable…and the price is far too low for the quality of the product. Don’t repeat that please, because I am grateful that I am able to buy cases of your chickens and gift them to my employees. I intend to continue to do that – and I am certain my staff are all proud to take home a fresh chicken, and exclaim to their family exactly where it came from – the highest quality standards…. I know for myself – the taste, the texture, it is all there. Thank you so much for your attention to the details, for your attention to the product.

Chris,
My comment was that I purchased your chicken product on behalf of my wife. We sampled our first bird a day or so later while it was fresh as a Sunday roast. Both her 23 year old son and my 16 year old son commented that the chicken was very moist and tasty. They were unaware that it was not store bought chicken at the time. I felt that for the large bird that it was it was surprisingly tender and tasty. We are looking forward to enjoying the rest of our purchases.
Sincerely

We have been buying chicken as well as beef, pork, and eggs from you for several years now. The first time we tasted your chicken, we knew it was superior. Not only is the meat much more dense, but also much tastier. Thank you for providing excellent quality food, and healthier food options for our family.
See you soon!

Good wholesome chicken, just like the kind I was raised on, but no: feeding, mucking out, head chopping, gut removing or feather pulling.
Thanks for keeping me fed.

Hi Chris,
I have just read your “About Us” and I am so touched, especially since I just came from a showing of the movie “Fresh”. I too had cancer the showing was at a Center in Vancouver called Inspire Health. Inspire Health is an Integrated Cancer center that Integrates Traditional and Complementary treatments and tonight they showed this movie that was talking about all the things you said in your bio, amazing. We do love you chickens and I have seen first hand how much you love those little guys. Anyhow I will be out soon for more of your delicious chicken.

Our family are conscious consumers of “cruelty free” food. Some days this means vegetarian or vegan, some days it means chicken and beef that I can rely to be humanely raised and processed and fed in the healthiest way possible for the animal … and us! Thanks Chris for serving our chicken appetite for years! (… and we raise exotic chickens for fun and for eggs, so we have the highest regard for these two-legged creatures!)

If you like organic chicken, it doesn’t get any better than this. I have been buying my chicken from this farm for a few years and have never found anything better. My guests always rave about the chicken. It truly is delicious. This farm’s motto is “more exercise, better food and a little love”
Katissa Poultry is producing for a small special market of people that remember how things used to be or have gone out of their way to educate themselves about food production… and are willing to support the cost of small production. A couple has run this farm for 30 years, and last fall, the husband died of cancer. His wife Chris is determined to keep the farm going.
This summer, they just launched online ordering and have delivery too. Prior to this, I was always asking my mom or dear neighbour Anne in Crescent Beach to pick me up a dozen or two.
Here’s the link. There is a $25 delivery cost to have them right to your door. It’s well worth it!!! http://www.specialtychicken.com/prices-2

Hi Chris; I am really enjoying your chicken that I got from you back in Sept. It has a wonderful flavor and reminds me of the chicken that I ate as a child, back on the prairies. I didn,t think such wonderful tasting fried chicken was available anymore. I believe your chicken is a wonderful value for the money, the pieces are so “meaty”. I got a number of breasts with the wing on last time, I can’t believe the amount of meat there is on those pieces. I cooked one in the oven this week and served it to guests for lunch, it was just the right amount for four people, wow, was that an inexpensive lunch or what?
