Poultry In Motion™

/in , /by

Educational Mini Barn

With farms off limits to visitors due to biosecurity protocols, the BC Chicken Growers’ Association, in partnership with the BC Broiler Hatching Egg Producers’ Association, has developed Poultry in Motion™, a mobile mini barn, in an effort to increase public awareness and educate consumers. This fully equipped mini barn has been featured at fairs, schools and agriculture events around the province.

The trailer consists of three sections, showing two life stages of broilers, plus their parent stock – the breeders. Each section is set up as a very small scale poultry barn, showing you how poultry farming is done in BC. The pictures in the background are from farms in the Fraser Valley.

Technology Flash-back

We have been digging deep into our storage areas here at the Denbow office… spring cleaning!  It’s fun to see how things have changed as we have grown and technology has advanced.  We have discovered some extinct technology in the closets that have given us a blast from the past.  Some younger staff members here don’t even know what the first item is – do you??!

We are proud of our client relationships. And we’re proud to share the observations of those who know best what it’s like to work with – See more at: http://www.infinitive.com/client-experience/testimonials/#sthash.XFmwPelG.dpuf

We love our clients, and we love to share their observations about their experience with Denbow:

“We originally contacted Denbow because we were looking for another decorative alternative to rock and regular fir/hemlock bark mulch that was also in a comfortable price range. Our customers are very pleased with the variety of selections and that the product color lasts longer and doesn’t decompose as quickly. Love the vibrant colors and of course the price levels. Denbow’s staff is always friendly, willing to listen and accommodating even given that we are a small landscape yard. We’d always recommend Denbow for the quality and cost of the products as well as the service received. We have also referred Denbow’s mulch blowing service for the unreachable backyards and slopes”

Black Mulch at IMW Industries

/in /by

This morning a couple of our crews started early installing beautiful rich Black Coloured Mulch just down the road from our yard at IMW Industries.  Starting early allowed us to complete much of the installation before the first shift employees arrived, requiring use of the parking lot.  We’ll complete the project tomorrow morning early!
