What started out as a Thanksgiving tradition in our country has turned into year-round goodness. Turkey is an extremely nutrient dense and clean protein. Our turkeys are raised under blue skies and fresh air, scratching up yummy, wholesome pasture and woodland pickin’s with an organic, soy-free & corn-free smorgasbord on the side. Unlike industrial confinement operations where its turkeys wing to wing, butt to butt, snood to snood in every direction, our tom turkeys live as nature intended!

Turkeys Are Amazing
Turkeys go from one of the ugliest birds to one that turns captivating during mating season. When strutting to win the approval of nearby hens, a tom turkey fans it's tail feathers into a beautiful display, puffs out its chest feathers and beard out to reflect the sunlight with a shimmering iridescence as they turn their head and neck deep shades of red, white, and blue based upon their mood in the moment. During the spring mating season, it's easy to see why Benjamin Franklin was fond of the turkey as a national bird candidate. Any other time of year, one needs to look a little harder to see their beauty.
Soy-Free & Corn-Free Supplemental Turkey Feed
**This ration comprises of approximately 50% of their diet. The remaining 50% is made up of whatever they find pecking and scratching around in the pastures.
Straight outta Gary's (our turkey farmer) mouth about the feed ration: "We mix our own feed, so there isn't a tag nor has the ration been tested for maximum/minimum nutrient content. We source grains and test them at Eurofins lab to avoid any contamination of the main Ag chemical glyphosate. When necessary we also test for GMO contamination and reject any grain that shows the slightest trace. The grains can change as available. It's difficult. It takes a lot of searching and testing to find crops that aren't contaminated nowadays by glyphosate drift. Spraying done on other farms can drift up to a mile or more depending on the wind and topography of the area."
