Lilydale is celebrating 75 YEARS as a Canadian company. They originally started as an Alberta Farmers cooperative and today are Canada’s premier poultry provider. We eat a lot of chicken and turkey in our house and I like to know I can support our Canadian farmers by enjoying Lilydale products at home!
