About Blue Lakes Premium Meats
Built on a Decade of Trust
Blue Lakes Premium Meats represents the evolution of a company with deep roots in Ontario's food supply chain. Founded in 2016, the business operated for nearly a decade as Parkhill Meats, a provincial abattoir that built its reputation on locally-sourced, consistently processed beef and lamb for Southwestern Ontario customers.
In 2026, that foundation became something much larger. The opening of a new, state-of-the-art meat processing facility in Parkhill, Ontario marked the beginning of a new chapter for Blue Lakes Premium Meats as a federally inspected meat processor aiming to serve wholesale and export markets.
The name reflects both geography and purpose. Located amongst Ontario's Great Lakes in one of Canada's most fertile agricultural regions, Blue Lakes is positioned to raise the standard for customers who expect more from their supplier. We offer locally sourced, fully traceable beef and lamb products for grocery chains, distributors, restaurants, and international buyers who demand greater transparency about where their meat comes from.
