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.

"Much of our business story centers on the changes we haven’t made. We still raise our turkeys outdoors. We’ve been on the same farm for 87 years. Our partner farms and team have been with us for years. But we have made some changes along the way.⁠ ⁠ One very visible change you’ll see this season is our updated turkey label. After 18 years, we were due for a light refresh, and we even added a netted handle for easier handling. Turns out we’ve learned that turkeys can be cold and awkward to carry! You’ve likely noticed refreshed labels on our other products this year, and now our new turkey label finishes the project.⁠ ⁠ It’s a joy to be a central part of a holiday that’s rooted in gratitude and tradition, and we’re thankful for all our customers who see the difference in how we continue to raise our Ferndale turkeys. That’s something that hasn’t changed.⁠ ⁠ We’ll look forward to seeing you at Ferndale Market in the weeks ahead!"⁠ ⁠ Visit our website to read all of John's From Your Farmer updates (link in bio).
Ever wonder what our turkeys eat?⁠ Our goal with our feed program is to incorporate age-old wisdom with innovative new ideas to provide a well-rounded diet for our turkeys. We work closely with a local mill that custom blends our feed specifically for us. Poultry gizzards are designed to digest small grains, so the feed consists primarily of fresh ground corn and soybean meal purchased from area farms. We add an ideal balance of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, as well as probiotics, yeast, and natural herbs that work in tandem with nature to maintain excellent health in our flocks.
We’re excited to introduce three new gift boxes filled with locally made favorites! Each one can be shipped straight to your loved ones this holiday season. ⁠ ⁠ ☀️Minnesota Morning Gift Box ⁠ Small-batch coffee, local pancake mix, granola, and more.⁠ ⁠ 🧘Minnesota Mindfulness Gift Box⁠ Bath soak, lotion, tea, soap, and our On Range candle. ⁠ ⁠ 🌶️Minnesota Spice Gift Box⁠ Hot sauces, hot honey, seasonings, tortilla chips, and Ferndale turkey summer sausage.⁠ ⁠ Explore our new gift boxes on our website and find the perfect gift for everyone on your list!

What does free-range look like on our farm? 🦃⁠ When day-old baby turkeys arrive on our farm, they have to be kept indoors at a balmy 98° F, but as they grow, we slowly introduce them to the great outdoors. Once our turkeys are old enough, we transition them to a free-range environment with plenty of room to roam outdoors. In Minnesota’s summer months, they live completely on pasture and are rotated to new grass each week. This allows them constant access to clean air and fresh grass, and exceeds the space requirements for organic turkeys.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #freerange #freerangeturkey #knowyourfarmer #mngrown
Need some recipe inspiration this fall? 🍎⁠ ⁠ We’ve added new recipe cards to our on-farm market, each featuring Minnesota-grown apples paired with Ferndale turkey products. Pick up a card on your next visit and try a new recipe this season!⁠ ⁠ We’ve also added a new recipe page to our website with even more recipes featuring Ferndale turkey.⁠
Have you spotted our updated labels? Over the course of the year, we've been giving our turkey product labels a refresh. (If you can believe it, some of them haven't been updated in 18 years!) Here you can see our previous turkey stick labels (on the left) next to our new ones (on the right). You may see both versions for a while as we continue to work through stock.
