Chilliwack Agriculture Tour - West River Farm

We’ve partnered up with the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corp. to put together this years virtual Agricultural Tour. Over the last few weeks we’ve been highlighting various farms, agriculture and processing businesses in Chilliwack. We think you’ll really enjoy what we’ve put together.

The fourth stop on our tour is Puratos Canada.

West River Farm Ltd. is a family owned dairy farm business in Rosedale, BC, operated by Grant, Gene & Sarah Sache. The farm is an average sized BC dairy farm, milking 150 Holstein cows. The Saches adopted robotic milking technology in 2015 to replace the aging double 5 parlour their parents installed in the 1970s. The farm team takes great care to grow and store quality local forage crops to fuel healthy, productive, home-grown cows, shipping over 2,000,000 litres of fresh BC milk per year.
