Pasture Raised, Organically Fed Heritage Orlopp Bronze Turkeys

We are raising the Orlopp Bronze turkey, a heritage breed, originally a cross between the native wild turkeys in America in the late 1700’s and the turkeys brought to the colonies by Europeans in the 1800’s. The Bronze variety was officially recognized in 1874 by the American Poultry Association. These turkeys were divided into two distinct types, the Standard Bronze, and the Broad Breasted Bronze. (Orlopp’s Bronze). Both varieties have brown coloring, highlighted by shades of copper and blue-green, and the plumage overall is very similar to that of the wild turkey.

Our turkeys are raised on pasture in movable tractors. We raise our turkeys humanely as they are able to carry on with natural feeding and roosting, enjoy bugs and the sunshine. Just like our meat chickens, laying hens and cattle, these turkeys are moved daily to fresh grass. Once the turkeys are on pasture, they get a good amount of nutrition needed when they are foraging.
