Heritage Breed Bronze Turkeys
LOCAL from Schacht Farm owned by Matt and Mandy Corry Fresh, not frozen • $4.49/lb, 16-22 lbs
The day old poults (baby turkeys) arrive in July, spending the summer and fall months foraging on the lush pastures at Schacht Farm after a short stay in the brooder (poultry nursery). They are provided with shelter from the sun, wind and rain. The turkeys receive around 70% of their diet from forage, making for a more healthy bird both to raise and to eat. The remainder of their diet comes from local grains with organic supplements.
Certified Organic Turkeys
REGIONAL from Eberly Poultry Fresh, not frozen • $4.49/lb Size ranges are 8-12 lbs, 12-16 lbs or 16-22 lbs.
Our certified organic turkeys are from Eberly Poultry, raised on small Amish and Mennonite farms in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country. Eberly’s free-range organic poultry is hand-processed in low volumes right before shipment, enhancing the taste of the birds. Family farm traditions, balanced with an advanced understanding of poultry breeds and organically grown feed grains, result in organic poultry that has never been given growth stimulants, anti- biotics, or animal by-products in feed.
Fresh Natural Turkeys
REGIONAL from Bowman & Landes Fresh, not frozen • $2.49/lb Size ranges are from 8-12 lbs, 12-16 lbs, 16-22 lbs, and 23 lbs and up
This is a customer favorite: fresh natural turkeys from Bowman & Landes, raised in the same way they have been since 1948 – with no growth hormones, antibiotics, or stimulants. The birds are free-range with access to the outdoors, living on a diet of high quality grains grown on the Bowman Landes Farm in New Carlisle, Ohio. Processed on site, they are individually inspected to insure a healthy, wholesome product, then packaged without the use of any nitrates, MSG, additives, colors, or flavorings. At $2.49 per pound, this is a remarkable value. We also have Bowman and Landes fresh turkey roasts and breasts.

All-Natural Local Pekin duck Local from Gunthorp Farms in Lagrange, Indiana Owned by Greg and Lei Gunthorp Fresh • $4.99/lb
The ducks at Gunthorp Farms spend about three weeks under heat before they are turned loose on the pastures. There, they receive the same feed as the chickens – forage, with a mixture of corn, soybeans, and Hubbard’s Homestead mineral mix. These ducks are older at slaughter than most available. This, and the fact that they are raised on pasture makes them more like duck available in Europe.
