2011 Turkeys for 4-H will come in March and Bourbons will come in April and Broad Breasted Whites come in June.

 

Bourbon Red Turkeys are a heritage breed.  They are a beautiful bird and their taste is truly wonderful.  They are rated #1 in taste on several different websites.  Because they are a heritage breed and slow growing it takes 26-28 weeks to raise them. 

Our baby bourbons (poults) will arrive the last week in March. Will then spend 7 weeks in the brooder before they go outside in our hoop houses. They are great foragers and love to eat grass!

Our Bourbons will be between 7 and 14 lbs for Thanksgiving.

 

Please order early because of our limited supply of bourbons
