Want to know why our Turkeys taste so good. Here’s why…

We are a family run business that’s been farming and rearing Christmas turkeys for three generations.

We rear a mixture of traditional White Feathered turkeys and “free-range bronze” turkeys.

The bronze birds have a reputation for having superior flavour, texture and meat quality.

All our birds arrive on the farm at the end of June/early July.

This makes them a minimum of 22-24 weeks old by early December when ready for processing.

Early in their life, the birds are bedded on shaving and later on a deep bed of straw.

All birds are raised using traditional and natural methods. They’re fed on a cereal-based diet which drug-free and free from growth promoters.

Prior to Christmas, during the last 6-8 weeks, we introduce whole grains to their diet. This is a traditional way to finish turkeys. It makes our turkeys mouthwateringly moist.

Slaughtering is carried out in early December by fully licensed operatives.

Finally, the birds are hand finished and hung in a chilled environment for 10 – 14 days. As with beef, this hanging period improves the flavour and texture of the meat.

The birds are then eviscerated again on the farm, for collection on the 23^rd and 24^th of December.

But don’t wait around. We’re a small turkey farm. The number of birds we can produce is limited. So once they’re gone, they’re gone.

FAQs

Why do you not give refunds?

We pay charges on every transaction people made through our shop. We also pay transactions on every refund too.

If we offered free refunds our payment processing charges double.

We’re only a small business and we can’t afford to take these losses like this. So, we must make all payments non-refundable.

Our work schedule is manic running up to Christmas. Not only do we have the turkeys to process, but we have a sheep and beef farm to run too. And we all have families and children to deal with as well.

Issuing refunds takes time. And this is simply time we don’t have running up to Christmas.

To summarise: we don’t give refunds because it cost us too much and we don’t have the time to process them.

When do I have to pick my Turkey up?

All turkeys are to be collected 23^rd and 24^th December.

Please bring a copy of your receipt when collecting.
