"Pastured "
simply means free range of a pasture. Since our farm is our home,
it is difficult and not profitable to let the poultry have free run of
our entire yard and garden space. |
| Instead we rotate our flocks in
large, fresh pasture areas or
mobile pens called "Tractors". Our birds have access to fresh grass,
bugs, air, and sunshine everyday.
This is actually more beneficial than most "Free range" systems, in
which birds are just packed into a warehouse. With the lack of
individual cages, they can be labeled "Free range", but still do not
have the nutritional qualities of pastured poultry.
In addition to pasture, our turkeys receive a supplemental
dose of grit, brewers yeast, fresh garlic, hard boiled pastured
eggs(for protein), and a custom grind feed which contains no hormones, antibiotics, medications, or steroids. |
| The White Broadbreasted turkey is
an equivalent to the broiler chicken. It has been bred specifically for
it's large, tender breast meat, and it's extremely fast grow out period
(about 12 weeks). This is the same breed of turkey you will find in the
grocery store, because it is the only breed that produces these
qualities. |
 |
However, our turkeys are more
flavorful, lean, tender, juicy, and posses all the nutritional benifits
that come with excersise, sunshine, grass, and stress-free enviroment.
Heritage turkey breeds include, Bourbon Red,
Narraganset, Black Spanish, and Royal Palm. Heritage turkeys are known
for their lean, flavorful meat, and their traditional appearance. Their
breast meat is smaller than the broadbreasted, so there are about equal
amounts of white and dark meat. Heritage breeds can naturally
reproduce, and play a key role in sustainable agriculture. We hope to
save some pairs out of our heritage turkeys and begin our own breeding
program soon.
*Processed birds come cleaned with neck attatched,
but without organs, unless specifically requested.* |
