Turkeys

Our beautiful turkeys spend their days roaming our pastures, foraging for goodies, roosting in their turkey church, and gobbling in unison.

Since 2014, we have been committed to raising slow growing, incredibly flavored heritage breed turkeys. If there is anything we’ve learned in business and in farming, its important to be flexible. After 8 years of heritage turkeys, we are now raising a breed called ‘Broad Breasted Black’ as they grow slower than full commercial breeds. Its been pretty difficult to source a high quality heritage breed poult (turkey chick) anywhere in the west. Turkey poults are very sensitive, especially during their first few weeks of life. Couple that with long travel distances and dodgy quality genetics and that equals a lot of loss during those early weeks. We don’t want to have a lot of loss! We want to raise animals that will grow strong and healthy and thrive in our pastures. So bring on the broad breasted! What are we not changing?? EVERYTHING ELSE! We will still get them the day after they hatch and raise them identical to how we have in the past, outside under the sun, gobbling and roaming our pastures.

Did You Know…

From motorcycles driving by, a sneeze, or a baby’s yell… Turkeys echo any sounds they hear, in unison!

For those of you who are new to our turkeys, in 2020 we built them a ‘turkey church’ where they have shade and plenty of room to roost - exactly what they love - and move their house every other day while they have anywhere from 4,000 - 8,000 square feet to roam within their electric fence. They thrive outside on our pastures and do an incredible job foraging. They have a resident protector, our livestock guardian dog Bunny lives with them keeping them safe every day and night.

Just-hatched turkey poults arrived in June and are growing healthy and actively until early November, just in time for Thanksgiving and all the winter holidays. Sign up for our newsletter to get all the ordering information you’ll need to reserver your turkey this year!
