Turkeys now available!

Cedar Organic Bronze Turkeys - £11/kg



See the Produce page on our website for ordering info.

Grown and processed on the farm, dry plucked and hung for at least two weeks for that delicious full flavour. Sold oven ready, with giblets. They range in size from approx 4kg to upto 7kg.

Our turkeys arrive in the Summer at about 6 weeks old. The turkeys are bronze which means they have dark feathers and an amazing bronze sheen on them which really shines in the sun. This breed is particularly suited to outdoor rearing. They have a lovely airy shed with perches and lots of straw bedding and a large gate which takes them out to a grassy field for them to range. They spend most of the day out here, scratching and pecking about enjoying life. They have a couple of fallen trees because they do love to climb, shelter and perch. Turkeys are very chatty and gobble at us whenever we go and visit them! At night time we shut them in to protect them from foxes.

The feed we give them is an organic cereal based turkey food and at the very end we give them home grown whole grain cereal which gives them an extra boost at towards the end. Then a couple of weeks before Christmas we process them on the farm, dry plucking and hanging for at least two weeks for that delicious full flavour.
