Bauernhof Turkeys are back!

We are very excited to be offering our Bauernhof Turkeys again this year!

$6 per pound

Turkeys range from 15-25 pounds in weight.

ORDERING INFORMATION

If you are interested, please read the following carefully. This is a big undertaking for a small family farm, so we have two requirements for our customers:

First: $50 downpayment per bird.

This will reserve your bird for you and let us know how many turkeys we need to raise. We would like to receive the orders by April 1st.

Second: Pick-up on the day of processing (August 20th).

We do not have the freezer space to store your bird for you. They are just too big! If you are going to order a turkey from us, you need to be able to pick up the bird from our farm on the afternoon that we process the turkeys. We will likely make one run into Greeneville, TN on that day, and so you could meet us at the predetermined pick-up site.

We understand that this is early for a Thanksgiving meal, but birds grow best in warm weather.

PLEASE EMAIL WENDI AT flakymn@hotmail.com to reserve your turkey and receive downpayment information. We will send you a confirmation email once we receive your downpayment.

GENERAL INFORMATION

We raise Broad-Breasted White Turkeys. These are similar in appearance and size to what you would find in the grocery store, but these birds are raised totally different.

Organic-fed… Our turkeys eat organic feed from New Country Organics, composed of soy-free, organic grains, mineral-rich kelp, and probiotics. They also eat as much fresh grass, plants, insects, and worms as they desire.

Pasture-raised… Once out of the brooder, our turkeys stay on pasture. Our pastures are a mix of warm and cool season grasses and wildflowers. Our pastures receive NO herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, or other synthetic chemicals.

Semi Free Range… Our turkeys are not kept in barns, cages, or permanent paddocks. They are moved frequently across our farm pastures using portable net fencing to keep them safe from predators like coyotes and bobcats.

If you would like to do some more reading on why our turkeys are so much more expensive than what you would find in a grocery store, here is a very good article on this topic:
