Lucas has hatched and raised a brood of heritage turkeys. The breeds include Royal Palm, Bourbon Red, and Beltsville Small Whites. While these birds tend to grow more slowly, they develop a darker, richer meat with an almost nutty flavor. By hatching these birds (compared to buying chicks as is the industry standard) Lucas has been able to ensure stress free, happy lives that allow for tender meat.

A note from the farm... We are a small family-owned/operated farm that produces all-natural, high-quality meat and egg products for local customers, available on a weekly delivery route or at Farmer Markets. We also sell hay, straw, livestock, and farm-related goods. We hope you enjoy our amazing Turkeys this season :)

More about the Turkey...

All three of these heritage breeds were standardized around the turn of the 20th century and sold as sustainable livestock for small farms. As Broad Breast become more commercially valuable due to high growth rate and large breasts, these heritage breeds fell out of favor. Heritage birds are leaner with a more equitable dark meat to white meat ratio- the meat is almost velvety tender.

A note about Size....These birds grow more slowly so we are hoping to have a good range of sizes on these birds. Please put any size preferences in the notes section at checkout and we will do our best to honor those requests.
