Welcome to our third-generation farm.

We got a new flock of poults over the weekend. 
The baby turkeys will be in a brooder barn for about a month before transitioning to a barn with outdoor access for their teenage phase. From there, they’ll move to living fully on range, rotating to fresh grass every week.
