What Do Free Range And Organically Grown Really Mean?
Naturally Raised, Naturally Better.
Our free range and certified organic husbandry practices are very similar. The
primary difference is our certified organic flock is fed certified organic
grain. Our flocks are primarily hens raised to a healthy 17-22 pounds. This
ensures an excellent, even finish and produces a naturally self basting turkey
with delicious flavouring.
