Agricultural Operations


It all begins here. Maple Leaf Foods owns and runs poultry barns and poultry hatcheries across the country. We have strong, long-standing relationships with farmers.
We fundamentally believe in the important connections between animal care, workplace safety, food safety and quality, and environmental sustainability. Our people and our animals are important to us.
There are many opportunities to grow your career in this rewarding and exciting field.


Our poultry operations
Maple Leaf Foods is proud to be a major Canadian producer of high-quality, nutritious poultry. We own a number of hatcheries and source our supply of chicken and turkeys from independent producers. The teams at our hatcheries are focused providing good conditions for our hatching eggs and providing the best care for our chicks. They develop, implement, and review programs and processes to maintain the best care for our animals.
We also work very closely with poultry farmers who raise our chickens.
