Frequently Asked Questions



  • Bring your pan to make sure your turkey will fit. Make sure the person picking up your turkeys knows the correct size.


  • We don't mark each one with a name since we sell about 3,000 turkeys around the holidays, so please know the size you order is an approximation.


  • We take Cash (prefer cash being a small business and wanted to avoid credit card fees) and Credit Cards (American Express & Visa), but do NOT take checks.


  • Our turkeys are fed a corn meal mash (no hormones of any kind). They are free range (not in cages).. You can see them from the road.


  • We can split a larger turkey if you'd like two small ones or just a small half of a turkey (for the smaller families). You can buy extra parts of the turkey for gravy,etc.


  • Turkey orders are a must. If you can't get through by phone, try email. We can't accommodate walk ups.


  • We are open year round for chickens and eggs (if you call ahead, we occasionally have turkey available ).


  • We recommend a pound to a 1ish lbs. per person. Figure that there are bones in the turkey. The recommended size for a full, meaty turkey is around 20 lbs. Ours range from 15-40 lbs typically.


  • Generally our turkeys (preservative free) can be kept in the fridge for 3 days (1 week from the date processed which we track). If you want to keep it longer, put it in the freezer for a day or two to get a cold crust and then move it to the fridge. If you brine your turkey, it can be kept in the fridge a bit longer. Brining is a preservative. Do we recommend brining? We don't. We just use a little Mrs. Dash for flavoring (but we are a little busy at the holiday to try to brine our own).


  • Your turkey is still alive when you order, so know that we will try to get as close to your size as possible. Please be kind and flexible. We can't stop our turkeys from eating. They grow the way that want to. We only raise 3000 so we do our best to get you the size you'd like.


  • We aren't considered organic. There are regulations, as well as a process that is needed to be evaluated as organic, but we consider our poultry to be natural- no hormones and free range.


  • Pull up the driveway and there is a building marked "store" on your right


  • We reuse egg cartons and plastic/paper grocery bags. We recycle old ink cartridges / cell phones/ batteries (in support of a local high school). We also collect tabs off the top of soda cans for Ronald McDonald House. You can drop these in the store during business hours. We also collect unpainted pumpkins for our animals to eat when you finish using them for decoration (just drop under the trees by the "store" building.
