General Information
We raise Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys, a hybrid with a growth rate suited to the amount of acreage we have to offer. Our turkeys are rotationally grazed-- they move to new ground regularly so that they provide the right amount of impact and not more. They forage and flap all day until bedtime, and roost in a cozy, predator-proof barn at night. They are currently located in our lower dryland pasture, where they're part of a multi-year pasture renovation effort to improve the health of the soil.

Our turkeys are raised on certified organic feed from a local mill.

We sell fresh, never frozen turkeys that are processed humanely on the farm the week of Thanksgiving. Processing on-site saves fuel, eliminates the stress of transport, and ensures that each turkey is handled with care at the time of harvest.

Reservations & Pricing
Turkeys under 20lbs - $11 per pound
Turkeys 20lbs and over - $10 per pound

This pricing covers hatchery costs, organic feed, and the time and labor that goes into raising them and harvesting on-farm.

Turkeys can be reserved through this online store with a $50 deposit. Please note: This deposit is not the final cost of the turkey, but it will count towards the final cost. The final cost of your bird will be determined when they're weighed at pick up. Deposits are refundable until the end of the day November 1. Deposits from unclaimed turkeys will be donated to the farm.

Sizing
We expect to have a range of sizes from 12-25 lbs, with a handful over or under that range. If you have a preferred size, please let us know by leaving a note at checkout or by emailing us at: animals@hiddenvilla.org. We will do our best to accommodate requests but do ask folks to remain flexible as we won't know the weight breakdown until harvest day. A good rule of thumb when estimating the size you'll need for your meal is 1-2 lbs turkey per person.

Pick Up
Turkeys will be available for pick up on the farm on Tuesday 11/26 from 4:30-6:30pm. If you can't make the pick up window please let us know by emailing animals@hiddenvilla.org; we're happy to set up an alternative day/time to meet you.

Turkeys will be harvested 24-48 hours prior to pick up, and will be sold fresh not frozen. That way there's no pesky thawing period and you'll have plenty of time to give it a nice brine if you want (you should try it!), and even enough time to confit your turkey legs the night before like a real pro! You will receive an initial order confirmation shortly after we've reviewed your order, as well as a reminder email with pick up details the week before Thanksgiving.

Waitlist

Sold out? You may still be in luck! Please email us at animals@hiddenvilla.org to be added to our waitlist. We usually know 2 weeks before Thanksgiving if we will have more to share.
