Welcome to our third-generation farm.

Ferndale Market

We treat our turkeys like they’re part of the family.
Because since 1939, they have been.

We treat our turkeys like they’re part of the family. Because since 1939, they have been.

When our founder Dale Peterson and his wife Fern began raising turkeys on our family farm in Cannon Falls, they did it the only way they knew how – without shortcuts. Eighty years later, that philosophy hasn’t changed.

This Thanksgiving season, we want to say THANK YOU for your support of our third-generation family farm. Whether you’re choosing to pick up your turkey at our on-farm market, have a bird shipped to you, or purchase one through one of our retail partners, we are grateful for your support and wish you a wonderful holiday season!
Big, small, something in between? What size of turkey are you getting this Thanksgiving? 🦃 We recommend planning for 1 to 1.5lbs per person. Go with 1.5 if you have big eaters or love leftovers!
Looking for a @ferndalemarket free-range turkey for your Thanksgiving table? 🦃 Here are three ways to find one: 🛒 Reserve a fresh bird (and other local foods!) for pick-up at our on-farm market during TurkeyFest 2025, Nov. 21-26. 📍Visit the Thanksgiving Locator on our website to find one of our retail partners near you. 📦 Order a frozen or smoked turkey on our shop site to be shipped to you. Thanks for supporting our third-generation farm this holiday season! #freerangeturkey #pastureraised #knowyourfarmer #supportlocalfarmers #thanksgivingturkey #ferndaleturkey #ferndalemarket
We're thrilled to carry Rush Creek Reserve, a once-a-year cheese from @uplandscheese in Dodgeville, WI! 🧀 This fall favorite is rich, custardy, and wrapped in spruce bark for a unique woodsy flavor. Stop by our on-farm market to experience it before the season’s over. 🍂
What makes our farm unique? 🌱 Since 1939, we've been raising turkeys free-range - with plenty of room to roam - on our family farm in the Little Cannon River Valley. Our birds are free from antibiotics and growth promotants, and allowed to grow at nature's pace. This isn't the most efficient way to farm, but we believe it's the best way for our birds and land. 📸: @karissalenorephotography #farmlife #familyfarm #freerangeturkey #pastureraised #regenerativefarming #ferndalemarket #ferndaleturkey
When you pick up your fresh 🦃 during TurkeyFest - Nov. 21 to 26 at our on-farm market - sample treats from our local vendors! From 9am to 3pm each day, enjoy favorites like: 🍿 @mabelscraftedpopcorn – Kettle Corn and SW Queso 🍹 @sweethaven_tonics – Sampler gift boxes and single bottles 🍫 @grovelandconfections – Toffee, caramels, and chocolates All of these products and more are featured in our Holiday Gift Guide. 🎁 Come taste, shop, and celebrate local this season! #shoplocal #shopsmall #supportlocal #localfoods #ferndalemarket
While our fresh turkeys aren't available until the week before Thanksgiving, our on-farm market is stocked with frozen and smoked turkeys, bone-in-breasts, boneless breast roasts, and gravy. 🦃 If you're celebrating early, we've got you covered! #thanksgiving #thanksgivingturkey #freerangetturkey #ferndaleturkey #ferndalemarket
