We also do UPS within the Midwest and surrounding states. Select your preferred options on form below and add a note on your sign up here if you would like this.
PORTIONING & THAWING:
A good rule of thumb is a pound of turkey per person for an ample serving or two pounds per person if you want a lot of leftovers. Fresh birds will stay good in your fridge for up to 5 days. Frozen turkeys take multiple days to thaw in a refrigerator, or up to a whole day or two to thaw in a water bath.
MORE ON FARMING PRACTICES:
We raise heritage Black Spanish Aztec and Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys on organic pasture using regenerative farming practices. This means our turkeys are moved every few days from paddock to paddock through perennial pastures as well as offered certified-organic, non-GMO, small-batch-mixed selections of grains & beans. We soak and ferment the beans and grain so it’s extra digestible with available nutrients to the birds! This is great for the birds’ immune health as well as for the nutrient density of their eventual meat. This lush pasture in addition to the highest quality, purest feed supplements result in an unparalleled turkey: both the turkey’s flavor and the health benefits gained by the bird, farm ecosystem, and consumer are huge.
