The Thanksgiving turkey goes beyond our traditions and customs as an American people: the Turkey is the centerpiece of our celebration of community, our moment at the table with family and friends.

We all value sustainable farming, and that’s why all five options available for turkeys are free range and humanely raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones.
The Kelly Bronze turkeys are raised by our good friend Judd Culver in Crozet, VA.
The heritage bronze breed was revived by Dr. Kelly (one of the few people in the world to have a doctorate in turkey husbandry), and has been voted the best turkey in Britain for the last ten years and running!
These turkeys are not just free-range: they are wild-foraging. They are allowed to roam the farm on their own, living their lives much as a wild turkey does.
After harvest, the birds are hand-plucked (many quills remain) and dry-hung like a traditional game bird. This means not only do the turkeys not need brining, but the meat is also more flavorful, denser, and cooks faster: just like a dry-aged steak does.The Kelly Bronze comes in a neat black box with cooking instructions and a special meat thermometer.
Kelly Bronze parts & pieces also available:
Half Turkeys, Bone-in Breasts (double or single), Boneless Breasts, Leg Thigh Quarters
prices per pound vary
The Heritage Bronze turkeys are raised in Albemarle County, Virginia at Heritage Glen Farm.
These heritage breed turkeys are free-range and wild-foraging, similar to the Kelly Bronze. They are allowed to roam the farm on their own, living their lives much as a wild turkey does.
These birds are processed so that there are fewer pinfeathers and quills than you typically find in the Kelly Bronze bird, and so that it will not need brining.
The Heritage Black turkeys are raised by a small co-op in North Carolina. These heritage breed turkeys are free-range similar to the Heritage Bronze.
These turkeys are a white hybrid breed (a farmer’s cross intended to produce larger birds with bigger breast meat), free-roaming on grass pastures and their diet is supplemented by a non-GMO feed.
If you are looking for a locally raised, ethically farmed, "traditional" white turkey to center your Thanksgiving dinner, this is the bird for you!
The Ashley White turkeys are raised with love by the Ashley family co-op in North Carolina.
These turkeys are a white hybrid breed (a farmer’s cross intended to produce larger birds with bigger breast meat), organically grown, raised on pasture, and considered “happy turkeys”.
Ashley White parts & pieces also available:
Half Turkeys, Bone-in Breasts (double or single), Boneless Breasts, Leg Thigh Quarters
prices per pound vary
