Our Authentic Blue Slate turkeys are raised the old-world way with the freedom to fly all over our farm in Perris, California. Yes, I do not clip wings of my Blue Slate turkeys. At night they roost on fence posts. This means that you’re assured that I truly offer my Blue Slate turkeys raised wild. My Blue Slate turkeys are free of antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and pesticides. Our Blue Slate turkeys are harvested a week before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our Blue Slate turkeys are shipped fresh.
Heritage Blue Slate turkeys’ meat is flavorful, firm, and moist. One taste and you will never go back to a farm-raised bird again. A special treat for drumstick fans, the entire turkey meat is dark, even the breast meat.
Make Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner extra special this year and serve your guests a flavor not tasted since the early days of America! A luxury once tasted, becomes a necessity. Such is the case with the Heritage Blue Slate turkeys.
