Are you ready to reserve your Thanksgiving turkey? Read through this helpful information & then order yours at the bottom of the page.

Our turkeys are raised on pasture without antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids. We harvest the turkeys in our USDA-inspected meat processing plant here on the farm. 

This year we have two fulfillment options for you to get your turkey:

1. Pick up at the farm in LaGrange, Indiana on Saturday November 23rd from 10 am to noon EST or Wednesday November 27th from 10 am to noon EST. You can pick up on either date, just be sure to bring your order number with you so that we can easily verify your order. 

2. Shipped directly to your door via UPS ground shipping the week of November 11th. Your turkey will arrive frozen two weeks before Thanksgiving, giving you plenty of time to thaw your bird before the big day. 

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:

• Our turkeys include giblets (heart, liver, and neck) all tucked inside the cavity.

Thawing Instructions for Shipped Birds

Your turkey will arrive frozen the week of November 11th- leaving you plenty of time to thaw your turkey before Thanksgiving. Just follow these instructions.

• Leave the turkey in its original, unopened plastic.
• Put the turkey, breast side up, in a tray or pan to catch any drippings.
• Place the frozen turkey in the fridge. Make sure the fridge is set to 40°F or lower.
• Allow around 6-7 hours per pound for thawing.

Here are approximate times to defrost in the fridge for the turkeys, according to the USDA:

• 12-15 pounds: 3-4 days
• 15-18 pounds: 4-5 days
• 18-20 pounds: 5-6 days
• 20-23 pounds: 6-7 days

We have found it helpful to check on your turkey at least 24-36 hours ahead of time to ensure it defrosts at the right pace. If the turkey is still solid on the outside, take it out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for up to 6 hours before cooking. While it rests, you should check it hourly to confirm that your turkey is cool to the touch but not frozen.

Once thawed, your turkey can stay in the fridge for another 1-2 days before cooking.
