What ferme orleans does

Ferme Orléans Inc. is a privately held, family-owned farm corporation founded in 1935 and located at 7344B Chemin Royal, Saint-Laurent-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, Quebec, Canada. The company breeds, processes, and sells poultry and specialty game birds through two channels: a farm store (comptoir de vente) on-site and a Quebec-wide e-commerce storefront with home delivery. The product portfolio centers on chicken, duck, guinea fowl, quail, turkey, and goose, and extends to small game including hare, rabbit, pheasant, and partridge, all raised on varied grains with no hormones and no antibiotics. The operational differentiator is an air-cooling (refroidis à l'air) processing technique that preserves product quality without freezing, and the assortment includes value-added prepared SKUs such as duck and chicken sausages, merguez, souvlakis, rillettes, terrines, skewers, hamburger patties, and quail eggs. Complementary local Île d'Orléans products (cheeses, pizza, potatoes, maple syrup, pickled vegetables, cassis and vinegar) are sold alongside the core poultry catalog. Revenue is generated through one-time transactional unit-priced purchases in Canadian dollars, with free delivery in Quebec for orders of $125 CAD or more; the company also lists on the MonPanier.ca local food marketplace. The customer base is primarily Quebec-based individual consumers and families seeking premium farm-to-table poultry, with a secondary food service segment sourcing specialty game birds. There are no funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent company, no M&A activity, no patents, no awards, and no disclosed headcount or revenue.
