Our
homegrown turkeys are known as the best you can buy. The turkey business
is very important to us because it’s where our business truly started
almost 60 years ago. We buy our turkeys as day old chicks from a hatchery
in Ohio. They are fed a combination of homegrown corn, soybean meal, vitamins
and water. We grind our own feed to perfectly match the concentration
to the age of the growing turkeys. Our turkeys are not given any growth
hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, or fillers.
They are full
grown at 18-23 weeks. The turkeys are processed and sold only here at
Ashley Farms. Our turkeys range in size from 13-45 pounds. A hen (female)
turkey ranges in size from 13-20 pounds. A tom (male) turkey ranges in
size from 21-45 pounds. We have fresh turkeys available from September
to December and fresh-frozen turkeys available year round. Our fresh-frozen
turkeys are just as juicy and tender because they are flash frozen to
preserve the flavor.
Ordering a
turkey for Thanksgiving is a must! We start taking orders the day after
Labor Day. Feel free to call in your order or stop by our market to place
your order!
So… what
makes our turkeys so juicy and tender? It’s our homegrown corn and
good handling. We make our own feed on-site with the best ingredients
available. The turkeys are handled by the same few people throughout their
time here at the farm, which lessens chance of disease. It also makes
for calmer turkeys which means less bruising and injuries. Our turkeys
have lots of room in our turkey pens, so overcrowding is never an issue.
Our turkeys
really are the best… we have about 5000 customers that come back
every year for one! Try one today! |
