Irving's Farm Fresh Pork

 Round Hill, Alberta

In July 2005, our UK family relocated to Canada. Alan had 16 years of experience in agriculture and haulage, while Nicola had a degree in Agriculture and worked in various roles in the industry.

We moved to Alberta, initially unsure of our business direction. Discovering a lack of British pork products in Alberta, we researched markets and regulations. In June 2006, we received a food permit and started making sausages in our basement.

Later, we acquired Berkshire feeder pigs and began breeding our own. Over the next two years, our business grew rapidly. We needed a larger kitchen and more pasture land.

In September 2008, we moved to Round Hill, Alberta, where we faced initial skepticism from neighbors. However, they soon realized we were a hardworking family with a unique venture. We appreciate the supportive community in Round Hill.
