While broad breasted white turkey is a very popular breed of turkey for meat, Snowdance raising practices go above and beyond for an exceptional end product. They raise a broad breasted white turkey on pasture, rotated onto fresh grass regularly for foraging. They're also fed a supplemental grain ration that includes corn and soy beans. No antibiotics or animal by-products are utilized.
Pasture Raised Broad Breasted White Turkeys are $9.99/lb.

Livingston Manor, NY
Snowdance Farm in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York specializes in free-range chickens, as well as other humanely raised, pasture-raised meats. They raise a specific type of chicken that is a bespoke cross of three different heritage breeds including a Sussex and Essex, and the chickens are fed a very specific diet that includes alfalfa and flower seeds. These heritage birds take almost twice as long to reach mature size, 12-14 weeks, as compared to a commercial cornish cross breed chicken. They're fed a vegetarian diet supplemented by pasture foraging and are never given antibiotics, hormones, or medications. They have more than the required square footage per bird to qualify as humanely raised, and they have all sorts of toys and distractions, as well as access to the outdoors. When it's time for the chicken to reach the plate, they are humanely butchered in a USDA inspected facility that air chills the birds (vs water chilled) for better flavor, less mess, and less water weight, meaning you get the most meat, and most flavorful meat, for your investment.
Keep refrigerated at 33°F to 40°F for no more than 2 days before cooking. Place your turkey in the coldest part of the refrigerator, usually the meat drawer or the bottom shelf.
Store in the freezer if planning to consume more than 2 days after delivery. Food safety regulations recommend that for every four pounds of turkey, you allot 24 hours for defrosting in the fridge.
