Our Story
Imagine for a minute, that you are in the spacious, rolling farmland of North-central Alberta. Welcome to Sturgeon Valley, and please, stay for a taste of fresh pork, raised here on the cereal and pulse crops growing here, under strict standards for feed, care and humane handling. It is easy to understand why the families living here, stay here for generations, and know that stewardship of the land will keep their families here.
Sturgeon Valley Pork is a group of farm families, a processing facility, a system of sustainable procedures to produce the highest standards, and a shared commitment to customers and the next generations.
Sturgeon Valley Pork is unique because of integrated and complete control from production through processing. The farm families, who raise the animals, own the processing facility and have a direct stake in customer satisfaction do everything with pride. This means they can listen to their customers’ requirements, and create tailor-made programs for their markets and their consumers.
Our Facilities
The new processing facility is one of the latest federally-inspected processing plants in Western Canada. It only deals with fresh primal products, and is always working with customers on meeting ever stricter quality standards.
It is located near St Albert, Alberta in the region known as the Sturgeon Valley, known for fertile land, rolling terrain and wide open space. All farms are within 200 km of the processing plant - just part of the plan to minimize environmental footprint.
From water management to waste management, energy and the latest technology, constant improvement is always the goal.
Our Technology
Sturgeon Valley Pork is produced to provide another level of food safety to customers who only serve the very best pork to their friends and family. A new technology, known as DNA TraceBack, tracks details of every single product.
All pork is tracked from origin on the farm, through the process facility, and follows through to the retail counter. This auditable and creditable system backs the claims and program specifications, and can be checked at any time.
