Do You Know Where Your Thanksgiving Turkey Came From?

Turkey Time!

Maybe Minnesota—the nation’s top turkey-producing state—or perhaps North Carolina or Arkansas. Either way, it’s probably not local.

When you see turkeys at big grocery stores selling for $2.49 a pound, it’s easy to overlook what that price really means. Most of those birds grow up in massive, climate-controlled barns packed with thousands of others. Everything is optimized for efficiency—the feed, the lighting, the temperature—but not for quality of life.

Thousands of turkeys mean thousands of droppings, and very little sunshine or fresh air. It’s a system built for volume, not care.

Now imagine something different.

Turkeys that peck in the grass, feel the warmth of the sun, and live the way nature intended. That’s what we raise here at R Farm Poultry—pasture-raised turkeys full of flavor, raised with integrity on our small local farm.

Yes, they cost more. But when you choose a local, pasture-raised turkey, you’re not just buying meat—you’re supporting ethical farming, better food, and better care. You’ll taste the difference, and you’ll know the story behind every bite.

Have questions? We’d love to share how we raise our birds with heart and purpose.
