HOliday Turkeys
For over a decade we've raised holiday turkeys on pasture. We supplement our free ranging turkey's diet using high quality grain. We pride ourself in careful attention to our animals well being, health, and happiness.
Why do we raise our birds differently?
Raising pastured meats is far more labor intensive than conventional raised meat, but we do it for several reasons:
1.) We believe in raising animals mimicking their ancestor’s natural tendencies whenever possible
2.) Rebuilding our soil fertility naturally.
3.) Animals have an different diet from foraging outdoors vs curated grain rations. Meat is only as good as what the animal eats during it's lifetime.
Why is it more work?
Raising pastured poultry means:
1.)Bringing fresh water and grain to the birds twice a day.
2.)Moving electrified fencing around birds and moving their mobile coops is labor intensive.
3.)Raising birds on pasture limits how many birds we can raise.
4.)Their mobile coop is moved twice a day for the birds foraging and soil health.
Turkeys are available this fall!
Just once a year we harvest our turkeys.
Remember turkeys aren't just for Thanksgiving. This caliber turkey is exceptionally hard to find in the US. We encourage customers to purchase a chest freezer so you can stock up.
We are offering pastured Standard White turkeys raised outdoors and fed high quality non-gmo grains. These delicious turkeys are excellent foragers, and their pasture-based diet influences the flavor and quality of the meat. This breed is known for having a generous amount of white breast meat and bones makes a beautiful stock. Our turkey will be the centerpiece for your Thanksgiving meal!
Please understand the following:
We have a limited amount of turkeys for Thanksgiving. It’s not too early to reserve yours. The earlier you reserve your turkey the more likely you will get your size preference. Small birds are between 10-13pounds, medium birds between 13-16 pounds, large birds 16 + pounds. The price is based on dressed weight and is $8.00/pound. We cannot guarantee a certain size bird but this helps us to get as close as we can to the size you desire. We will do our best to accommodate.
Deposits to hold your turkey are $50 and guarantees a turkey for you to pick up. The deposits are nonrefundable and will be deducted from the total cost of the turkey. The remaining total needs to be paid at pick up. We have several pick-up options for your convenience
November Pick Up Date 2025 TBD (there will be two options to pick up a fresh bird and an option to pick up a frozen bird)
Turkey sizes are approximate, and we do not reserve or guarantee exact sizes. For best size selection shop early.
We raise a turkey for you, but this is not a giant farm with thousands of birds. We require customers to have flexibility around weights. (A cookbook might say 14 pounds, but we may only have a 15 pound bird available.) We aim for a selection between 12-18 pounds.
Turkey are generally frozen and will require defrosting unless you pick up at our "fresh” pick up days.
Cost is $8/pound (Cash preferred)
We’ve honored your feedback and will not be including Giblets (neck/heart/liver/gizzard). These generally weigh about a 1-1.5 pounds and were weighed at the same time as the turkey. We offer them for sale in bulk separately along with our beef/pork/lamb/chicken offal.
We are currently Taking Reservations for 2025. Call or Text if you’d like to be on our Holiday Turkey List. 8O2-387-239l
