Turkeys


 

Along with chickens, we are also be breeding and offering Narragansett turkeys. Narris are listed as critically endangered by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and listed in Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste. Narragansett turkeys are known for being one of the largest of the heritage turkeys, have calm dispositions, can mate naturally, and have strong maternal instincts.

We only offer started stock and adults to buyers who can pick up at the farm or at regional poultry shows. We usually start incubating eggs late March/early April. Check back to see what we may have for sale.
