Supply Chain Opportunities

We will be unblocking multiple pinch points between farms and stomachs

Small Flock Eggs

Chicken eggs are popular with both small farmers and consumers. Despite strong demand in every Canadian city for local eggs, small local farmers are often left out of markets because eggs need to be graded before they can be sold. Canadian egg grading capacity is designed for large volumes of eggs from factory farms. We need a local-focused egg processing solution built for small farmers to offer consumers fresh locally farmed eggs.

Grade Wool

Sheep need to be sheared once or twice per year, and most wool is considered waste. Typically, the shearer must pay for its disposal. The large woolen mills have moved abroad, because there is less demand for the end products in Canada than overseas, where wool is a luxury item. We need a made-in-Canada supply chain solution that includes both creating processing capacity and market demand for innovative wool products.

Custom Meat Processing

Small and medium-sized farms have difficulty finding adequate processing capacity. They are too small for the large, industrial meat packers that handle tens of thousands of animals per house. There are many small, bespoke abattoirs, but capacity is often booked months in advance. The farmers that have found capacity typically sell their meat frozen rather than fresh. Increasing capacity will require investment to expand abattoirs, training for workers, and shipping to get the meat to market.
