These Heritage Bourbon and Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys are raised on sixty-acres of open natural orchard grass where field meets forest with riparian forest streams at their access. Heermance works diligently with feed nutrient specialists and their local feed mill to create a unique diet (free of corn and GMOs) using their own homegrown wheat and flax. They also include organic marigold petals, and organic paprika peppers in the feed to add extra color and the healthy bio-pigments of Astaxanthin. This prescriptive diet results in healthier turkey fat and crispy firm skin. Additionally a high percentage of natural local field ground alfalfa is incorporated to their diet so the turkeys have pasture all year (even in early spring and late fall). The alfalfa promotes their natural curiosity, helps increase strength, and contributes to a pastured flavor. Note: The birds we offer every year at Pound Ridge Organics are the same birds served at the renowned Michelin starred 'Restaurant Daniel' in NYC.
We do our best to accommodate your requests but cannot guarantee the exact weights and inventory until birds are processed. To be safe, you can order larger than you think you need, or order an additional small bird to ensure you have enough for your meal (and enough for leftovers).
Heermance Turkeys will be available for distribution early Thanksgiving week - Date To Be Announced
