Big Sky Farms was established in 1995 by four local businessmen and was one of the pioneers of the multi-site production model now in use throughout North America. Between 1995 and 1999, Big Sky designed and built three 3000 sow multi-site production units. In 2000, Big Sky set another first with the development of Canada’s first 6000 sow multi-site production unit in Ogema, Saskatchewan.

Over the next several years production capacity was increased through new construction and in the fall of 2005, Big Sky Farms purchased 16 farrow to finish barns adding 12,000 sows to its production base.
