A Smaller Turkey Breed With Big Benefits

Heritage turkey breeds are a popular choice in niche markets. Their unique flavor profile, striking appearance, and overall manageability make them stand out among turkey breeds. These birds are ideal for farmers or hobbyists who prefer a smaller, more manageable bird for processing.

Heritage turkeys are domesticated turkeys that retain natural instincts and characteristics similar to their wild ancestors. With their strong desire to forage and roam, they thrive as free-range or pastured poultry. These birds are also excellent at reproducing naturally, so you may even welcome a few turkey poults on your farm if you’re interested in raising more birds.

Heritage turkeys are quite self-sufficient, making them a great option for homesteads or turkey farms seeking a relatively low-maintenance bird. These pasture-loving birds also excel at pest control—you can expect fewer mosquitoes, beetles, and ticks with them around.

Unlike commercial turkeys, heritage turkey breeds are smaller in size. While this may not suit all growers, it is perfect for markets that desire a smaller bird.

Their turkey meat is highly sought after and well-regarded by chefs, making heritage turkeys an excellent choice for those looking to sell premium poultry products.
