Our Bronze Turkeys sourced from a reputable supplier who pride themselves on the conservation of native, slow-growing turkeys. The turkeys arrive on the farm days-old on the 2nd July every year, two months earlier than a commercial turkey would’ve been born. We brood them indoors until the poults are around six weeks old and no longer need additional warmth. They are then moved outdoors. Gradually, over the course of a week or two, the birds venture outside and learn to forage in the orchards and fields, scratching about under hedgerows and eating berries and plants that take their fancy. By allowing the birds to run free, you know your turkey has had the best life it possibly can. This, alongside the fact that our birds are approximately two months older than your normal, super-fast-growing, white supermarket turkey and the fact that we dry-pluck and hang the birds for around seven days, ensures that your turkey is a superior centrepiece for your dinner table this Christmas.
