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.

I suspect our turkey brats earn media attention because they’re a distinctive item.
