| How we raise the birds...
The day old poults (baby turkeys) arrive in July, spending the summer and fall months foraging on our lush pastures after a short stay in the brooder (poultry nursery). Like the chickens, they are provided with shelter from the sun, wind and rain. The turkeys receive around 70% of their diet from forage, making for a more healthy bird both to raise and to eat. The remainder of their diet comes from local grains with organic supplements. The turkeys weigh between 16-22 lbs.
Ordering...
We will begin taking orders for birds raised for the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday in July.
