Heermance Farm Turkey 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 and contributes to increased strength, and pasture 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 will do our best to accommodate your requests but please note we based the sizes below on the bird's current 'live' weight and anticipated growth over the coming weeks. Therefore we 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 extra small bird to ensure you have enough for your meal (and enough for leftovers). This will be the only turkey order for the season, so plan ahead for the December holidays and grab an extra bird for the freezer.

Heermance Turkeys will be available for distribution early Thanksgiving week - Date To Be Announced

Good Shepherd Conservancy is a 501c3 in located in Kansas with the mission to preserve 100% heritage breeds. It's the only remaining commercial Standardbred heritage Poultry farm in the US, and the only farm in the nation to meet these following standards: Certified Standardbred, Pasture Raised, Free-Ranging Flock, Naturally Mating, and Antibiotic Free (from hatch to plate). The Good Shepherd Heritage Chicken is raised locally by Chosen Farms, using the same impeccable standards as the turkey.

Raised by premier poultry framer Frank Reese, these turkeys have lineage dating back to the 1830s. Their turkeys come from any of the eight varieties of Standardbred breeds in existence today: Bronze • Narragansett • Bourbon Red • White Holland • Black • Slate • Beltsville Small White • Royal Palm.
