About Our Turkeys
Heritage turkeys hatched out in Spring 2024 will be available for Easter 2025
The heritage turkeys we raise are hatched from eggs laid by our breeding females. The birds are pasture-raised, in the warm months eating grass, our custom-blended grains which are grown on our farm, and extra vegetables and fruits from the garden. They don't receive any antibiotics or animal by-products; no turkeys raised in Canada receive growth hormones. In the colder months, all of our poultry including our turkeys stay indoors in heated coops since the weather in our part of Alberta is harsh (down to -30C and -40C).
There is no rushing Mother Nature or a turkey's natural breeding season, so these turkeys are ready when they are ready! Heritage turkeys grow more slowly than commercial breeds and they produce the perfect smaller family sized-bird with amazing flavour.
We raise a limited number of turkeys, so please fill out the form below to reserve your birds.
As of 2022, the price for a whole turkey is $6/lb. They average about 10-15 pounds.
