About FVSP

Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry (FVSP) is a well-established, family-owned poultry company with over 50 years of history in British Columbia.

We take pride in a friendly, supportive, and team-oriented work environment where every team member is valued and plays a meaningful role in our day-to-day success. If you enjoy working with food, building relationships, and being part of a close-knit team - this is the place for you.
