A note on this year’s turkeys:
Glynwood’s farm team is taking this year off from raising turkeys, but we aren’t compromising our standards. Just like at Glynwood, the heritage-breed turkeys we are offering to our community this year are raised with love and care by farming icon Frank Reese. Frank's Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch in Kansas is the only remaining commercial Standardbred heritage poultry hatchery in the U.S. to meet these standards: Certified Standardbred, Pasture Raised, Free Ranging Flock, Vegetarian Fed, Naturally Mating, and Antibiotic Free from hatching to plate.
Heritage-breed turkeys are beautiful, boisterous animals closer akin to natural wild turkeys. When compared with conventional broad-breasted turkeys, heritage-breed birds grow far more slowly, giving them time to develop healthy organs and strong skeletal structures before taking on weight in muscle mass. These turkeys require ample space to graze, and so are overall more expensive to care for.
Your Thanksgiving turkey will be one of the eight varieties of Standardbred turkeys in existence today: Bronze, Narragansett, Bourbon Red, White Holland, Black, Slate, Beltsville Small White, or Royal Palm. Heritage-breed turkeys boast richer, darker meat that we believe is miles more flavorful. We look forward to welcoming these beautiful turkeys back to Glynwood’s pasture next year, and are thrilled to be supporting an important conservation farm while maintaining your holiday tradition with us this year.
