The Story of Stuff Project

/in , /by

Have you heard about The Story of Stuff video?

“The Story of Stuff Project’s journey began with a 20-minute online movie about the way we make, use and throw away all the Stuff in our lives.

We have a problem with Stuff. We use too much, too much of it is toxic and we don’t share it very well. But that’s not the way things have to be. Together, we can build a society based on better not more, sharing not selfishness, community not division.”

At Denbow, our services include recycling many different wood waste products that would otherwise likely be burned or fill landfills.  We use the materials we produce on various erosion and sediment control projects.  These applications save our soil from erosion and reduce sediment runoff in our water.  We believe that our “innovating naturally” solutions help us be better stewards.

Take the time to watch The Story of Stuff video… it will make you think!

We are starting a regular column – Client Profile!  We will feature various clients that we work with…

COUNTRY GOLDEN YOLKS

Our Story!
Country Golden Yolks is a unique poultry operation in the heart of the Fraser Valley.  It all started in 1989 when the Luteyn family bought a white laying poultry operation. Wanting to try something new, they decided to change all the white laying hens to brown and give these birds the opportunity to go outside in the pasture during the day and have a nice roosting place for at night. This is where the “Free Range Egg” came to be.
Because of the high demand for free range eggs Country Golden Yolks has grown. The Luteyn family has retired, but Country Golden Yolks is still in the family and there are now 6 farms owned and operated by new families in the Fraser valley. We all work together to ensure that your families enjoy our fresh free range eggs!

2013 10 - Country Golden Yolks

Our Product!
Country Golden Yolks Free Range Eggs are a strong brown shell and a beautiful golden yolk. We believe that the “Best food is Natural Food”  Our hens live in a neutral free range environment which means they have access to the pasture and feed on natural ground cover. They eat a special diet with no animal by-products, and high in protein. For a list of stores that carry our product you can visit our website at www.countrygoldenyolks.com

Our Mission!
Our mission at Country Golden Yolks is to produce ” EGGS THE WAY NATURE INTENDED THEM TO BE”

The Denbow family honours Martin McGuillicky who has passed away. He had many roles over the years at Denbow. He was father to Co-owner Joanne. Father-In-Law to Bill and Paul. Grandpa to Michelle, Frank and Cody, as well as an employee here at Denbow.

25 years ago Martin retired from his service in the Canadian Military. He then came to do a variety of jobs here at Denbow part-time to help us out. He delivered sawdust and mulch with the small delivery truck. Did minor maintenance jobs. He also was one of our first sawdust installers to go out and help when a farmer couldn’t meet up with the sawdust delivery truck.

Martin will be remembered and he lives on in our memories.
