Artisan Heritage Turkey for Sale

The Artisan Gold turkey is the perfect farm-to-table bird, ideal for small farms and growers that aren’t as concerned with rapids gains or meat yield. This bird has a rich, colorful history and has been selectively bred for centuries. Their appearance harkens back to simpler times and a more traditional era. 

They are hardy, great foragers, and retain lot of natural instincts similar to wild turkeys. This breed thrives in a free-range or pasture-raised environment, where they can express their natural tendencies.

The Artisan Gold yields premium meat that is ideal for specialty markets and high-end restaurants. Their meat is richer and gamier than commercial turkeys due to their slower grow out period. If you want a high-quality, tender bird that is perfect for any dinner table, this is one of the best turkeys available. 

In addition to their high-quality meat, these birds are quite attractive. Their deep black feathers, long legs, and iridescent sheen make them a beautiful addition to any backyard. While they can mate naturally, our strain is a heritage cross, so they do not breed true. 

Growers can expect an average feed conversion rate of 2.97 for males at 20 weeks, while females average 3.14 at 17 weeks. 

With optimal care, this heritage turkey can reach a live weight of 12 to 20 lbs at the age of 17 to 20 weeks.
