Pasture-raised turkeys are unlike the conventional birds you may have tried.  Not only do they taste wonderful, but the cook time and preparation is a bit different. Bottom line–you DON’T want to overcook your turkey.  Get great cooking tips from Mother Earth News by clicking the link below.

If you have never tried a pasture-raised turkey, now is the time!  Pasture-raised means these birds roam freely on actively growing grass, also known as pasture.  Industry standards for terms such as free-range and cage-free fall way short of what WE feel is a healthy, sustainable environment for a live bird and a future Thanksgiving dinner.  The birds are offered all the grain they would like in a day and can forage and graze in their paddock too. When one paddock is mowed down we move them to a fresh paddock, so the previous one can rest and regrow and the sun can kill off any parasites. We move them through multiple paddocks this way all summer long, so our turkeys are always grazing on green paddocks full of lush grasses and interesting insect treats.

Our birds are certified by the Washington State Department of Agriculture which means they were butchered in a clean and inspected facility.  We do the butchering ourselves, so the treatment of the birds and the quality of the processing is under our scrutiny at all times.

 

What to order

You can purchase your turkey in two ways.  You can buy cuts by the package including legs, wings, and ground turkey.  Find our price list and online order form by clicking here.

You can also reserve one or more whole turkeys that will be ready for the holiday season.  When you order, tell us approximately how many pounds you would like them to be.  We aim for 16 to 18 pounders, and we always have lighter and heavier birds to accommodate your needs if you order early. We put the giblets in the carcass and we freeze the bird so your pickup and delivery options are more flexible.

When to order

As always, ASAP! Our pasture-raised turkeys are wildly popular, and folks start reserving them in the spring. Don’t wait till the last minute to reserve yours.  Individual cuts are restocked in the fall and are available until we run out.  Our scheduled harvest time is early October 2016 so you can get your bird any time after that. We make deliveries to all of our Washington drop off locations in the weeks just before Thanksgiving and Christmas, so you can also wait to pick up your birds at that time.
