Our fresh turkeys will be the centerpiece of your holiday feasts!
Our farm is pleased to offer "heritage" breed turkeys raised on pasture from our Hardwick farm. We offer several breeds including Bronze, Narragansett and Bourbon Reds. Heritage breed turkeys are different than traditional broad-breasted turkeys in that they have smaller breasts and a higher percentage of dark meat. Additionally, you may also notice some dark pin feathers that remain after processing. This is normal and they will simply cook away.
Our turkeys are:
-
Raised on pasture and forage crops and fed grain grown locally in Hardwick, MA.
- Not fed GMO's and NEVER receive antibiotics or anything synthetic.
-
Birds are allowed to roam freely in our pastures and consume large amounts of vegetation producing exceptionally tasting and quality meat.
PRICES & SIZING
Our turkeys are sold in the following size range:
- Small (12-15lbs)... $165

Our 2024 23-pound heritage turkey from Stillman Quality Meats was truly excellent. Much better balance of light and dark meat than commercial breeds. As for the taste ... my chef son-in-law said it was the best turkey he'd ever had. Well, I always cook it the same way and he's had it at least half a dozen times, so if this was the best, it was because of the bird itself! Next year we will definitely go with an SQM bird,
We've been buying your heritage birds for several years. This year's was the best ever--so juicy and flavorful.
This is our second year with a Stillman heritage turkey after years of enjoying their regular bird. It is worth the price differential with amazing moist breast meat and rich complex dark meat, reminiscent of poultry from Europe. We smoked it at a low temp for 5 hours after dry brining the night before. My entire philosophy of cooking is to get a great product like a Stillman bird or chop and do no harm! A wonderful company to deal with, this was a treat for our family and friends.
