Raised on Pasture

Turkeys at both farms spend their days outdoors, foraging and exploring. This isn’t just better for the birds — it’s better for the land and for flavor.
Pasture access means:

• Turkeys eat a diverse diet that includes insects and plants, which enhances nutrition and taste.

• The soil benefits from natural fertilization, boosting long-term soil health and biodiversity.

• The birds get to express their natural behaviors — dust bathing, grazing, and socializing — leading to calmer, healthier flocks.

Fed Non-GMO, Farm-Milled Grains

The feed for our turkeys isn’t trucked in from somewhere far away. It’s made right on the farm at NKids, using non-GMO grains grown locally. That means:

• Fewer supply chain miles (a smaller carbon footprint!)

• Full control over quality and ingredients

• A fresher, cleaner feed that supports healthier birds

Rotational Grazing for Health and Habitat

At NKids Farm, turkeys are fully free-range, moving across open pasture. At Dancer Creek Farm, they’re enclosed for predator protection but rotated to fresh ground every few days.
This rotation helps:

• Keep the pasture fresh and parasite-free

• Give the land time to rest and regrow

• Spread nutrients evenly across the fields

The result? Happier birds, healthier soil, and a regenerative farming system that builds instead of depletes.

A Fresh Bird, Not a Frozen One

Our turkeys are processed just before Thanksgiving at a local, small-scale processor who shares our standards for humane handling and careful quality.

Each bird is packed fresh — never frozen — and free from additives or injections that grocery store turkeys often contain to preserve shelf life or enhance flavor artificially.

What you get is simply turkey: clean, pure, and naturally flavorful — the way food should be.
