Turkeys

Our turkeys are now all in the freezer.  They were fresh when we froze them the day after Thanksgiving.

They are $4.40 per pound.  The sizes range from 15 pounds to 21 pounds; most being 16 pounds.

Call us at 810-632-5737 to order one or just stop in and pick the one you want.

We raise our turkeys free range. This means our turkeys aren’t cramped into tiny spaces. They have room to strut about, perches on which to roost and we insist they attend their exercise sessions — we actually go into their yard several times a day and encourage them to jog! As turkeys grow (and they grow very fast!), they tend to become sedentary. We have to keep them active so they retain strength in their legs to support their large size.

Our turkeys love their spacious living.

Each year, our flock is small so we can give them individual care and attention.
They have all of the fresh water and grains they need to thrive and are drug free — we don’t give them chemicals to speed their growth, which is why we CANNOT guarantee their size when you order a fresh one.

They are very alert, friendly and curious birds. They scurry around us as soon as we enter their yard. We’d like to think that’s because they like us, but the truth is, they know we are probably bringing them more grain. Since they grow so quickly, they are constantly hungry!

“Hello!”

Why are our turkeys more expensive than those in the stores? Because we raise them for quality instead of quantity. Once you taste a free range turkey, you will discover how much better they taste!

Turkeys for Thanksgiving must be pre-ordered. Go here for more information.

Things to keep in mind when ordering your turkey:

  • Weight CANNOT be guaranteed
  • Leftovers are great! Check out Patty’s turkey enchilada recipe here
  • Payment in full is expected when you pick up your bird
  • Types of payment accepted are cash, local checks, and major credit cards
  • We cannot deliver or ship
  • Pick up your pre-ordered fresh turkey the Tuesday or Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Hours will be posted on our homepage in early November.
  • Bring a box or a large cooler to transport your turkey

They are the BEST turkeys you can serve! You’ll be surprised how much better they taste than turkeys raised in “factory farms.”
