Each year we raise a special flock for our iconic holiday item: fresh Thanksgiving turkeys. These whole turkeys have never been frozen and arrive at your local store just days before the holiday. We believe that being able to offer fresh free-range turkeys highlights the distinctive way we raise our birds.

Deep-Chilled, Never Frozen
To keep our turkey fresh for your holiday meal – whether you celebrate on Thanksgiving or the weekend after – we maintain a “deep-chill” temperature (right at 32° F). Because of this, a small ice shell may form, but it will disappear quickly once you put it in your fridge. Since these turkeys have never been frozen, you won’t have the hassle of thawing them and they’ll cook faster in the oven. If your fresh turkey has not been cooked by the Monday following Thanksgiving, you should freeze it to maintain quality.
