THANKSGIVING TURKEYS
How are the turkeys raised?
Our free-range turkeys are raised outdoors. They get to live under the sunshine and forage for insects, bugs and greens. They are also fed a Certified Organic feed. They are raised with no growth hormones, antibiotics, or synthetic feed. All this adds nutritional benefits to the meat, gives it great flavor and adds to the quality of the meat overall.
What kind of Turkeys do we raise?
We raise Broad-Breasted White Turkeys & Broad-Breasted Bronze Turkeys.
How much are the turkeys? And what do they weigh?
The turkeys generally range from 10 - 25 lbs and the cost is $7.99 per lb.
*Please note that sizes are approximate. We do our best to give you the closest weight to the size class you request, but please understand that due to the unpredictable nature of farming that we cannot reserve or guarantee exact sizes.
Are the Turkey’s sold frozen? Why?
YES, our turkeys are sold frozen and will require you to defrost.
Our turkeys are sold frozen for a couple of reasons…
We raise our Turkeys outdoors and raising them through the month of November can be a challenge with the cold weather. The temperatures can become very cold and not great conditions for raising them or even possible sickness.
Turkeys are processed at a USDA certified facility and they do not process turkeys the few weeks leading to Thanksgiving; therefore we can NOT process them fresh the week of Thanksgiving.
Our turkeys are processed around end of September/October time-frame and are kept frozen for you.
