Sargent Farms was founded in 1943 in Milton, Ontario. What began as a small‑scale family farming operation gradually grew into a full‑scale poultry processing business that remains 100% Canadian family‑owned and operated. We are a contributing brand to the larger Sunrise Farms national organization.
Working at Sargent Farms means you are part of a legacy. We produce and process fresh chicken, raised on Ontario family farms, Halal-certified, and distributed throughout the province. Our success relies on every team member’s commitment to workplace safety, quality of work, and team collaboration. You are part of a tradition of excellence. Every task we do contributes to our mission of delivering fresh, quality, trusted chicken to customers across Ontario.
We take pride in our process.
We are vertically integrated - meaning we own hatcheries to the farms to the processing facilities and final transportation. We offer fresh, delicious poultry products that cater to discerning consumer preferences while ensuring exceptional quality and safety.
We are a contributing brand to the larger Sunrise Farms national organization, with exciting plans for a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility being built in Woodstock, ON. As we build our team for future expansion, we are committed to fostering an environment where collaboration and teamwork thrive. Here, your ideas matter, and your voice is valued. We take pride in showing our care through meaningful actions and support, including leadership development training designed to help you grow and excel.
Join us at Sargent Farms, where together, we can achieve great things. “Come grow with us”.
