Our turkeys are free-ranged and moved frequently to ensure they have fresh pasture daily, fed GMO-free grain, and processed right here on the farm. Our turkeys are sold frozen, with the heart, livers, and neck packaged inside.
To place your order, please shop by your pickup location, select the size range desired and continue to the cart. We do our very best to get each customer the turkey that is the perfect size, but there is a certain amount of unpredictability until harvesting is done! If you would like to pick up your bird fresh never frozen in late September from the Farm or at Market, please place your order as usual, and email to arrange a pickup time. Thanks!
