Our Farms & Suppliers 

Our Bronze turkeys are slow-grown and carefully reared on the Malseed family farm on lush Dartmoor pasture. The turkeys are reared using traditional farming methods and allowed to mature slowly over several months. They are fed on a healthy diet consisting of organic cereals and natural ingredients with no additives or growth promoters, then finished on local oats to provide an excellent taste and marbling. They even drink Dartmoor spring water! These organic turkeys are clever birds and need a lot of entertainment so are kept busy with toys to play with, as well as lots of pasture to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh Devonshire air.
