Why Pasture Raised Turkeys?

Hello Friends,

With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, you may wonder...should I order a pastured-raised turkey this year? Below we've listed just a few common sense reasons for choosing to serve a pasture raised bird.

Turkeys raised on the pasture have many benefits few of their friends never have...

• They can breathe fresh air, because they are not crowded in a coop with several hundred other turkeys, breathing in strong ammonia from the waste of others, and not having nearly enough carbon to absorb the massive amount of fecal matter.

• They can soak up the sunshine, forage on grass and lounge around at their leisure.

• Enjoy a diet made up of about 70% grass...the balance consisting of non-GMO, non medicated, chemical free corn, soy, oats, fishmeal, and poultry nutribalancer.

• Raised and processed humanely by hand.

Many customers come back after purchasing their Thanksgiving turkey from Green Ridge Acres and tell us it was the best turkey they ever had - more moist and flavorful. Order yours today by stopping in at our Camp Hill store or by contacting us.

You can make a delicious turkey dish, turkey soup, turkey sandwich on hearty whole-grain bread, as well as eat turkey all on it’s own.
