Arrives fresh, never frozen.

The Heritage Black Turkey is one of the first to be developed from Native American stocks. In fact, it is believed to be the same breed the Pilgrims feasted on during their first Thanksgiving. This breed is well-suited for foraging, and is raised on a special pasture, on a small family farm in North Carolina.

This breed is slow-growing and tends to be heartier and more disease resistant for free range life than commercial breeds. After 20 weeks, the birds are approximately half the size of commercial birds at the same age. They are moved to open pasture at six weeks of age.

A maximum density requirement ensures birds are allowed more room in the houses than birds on industrial or organic farms.

Heritage Black Turkeys are $13.99/ lb.
