Fresh White Turkeys Reared in England

Our traditional farming techniques ensure each turkey’s welfare which improves the flavour and tenderness of the meat; a happy and healthy turkey is a tasty turkey! As a family of turkey farmers, we love to get each member involved in the action, with even the little ones giving a helping hand. Our attention to detail and care for our birds is what makes us unique, so let us put something extra special in front of your family, friends and loved ones this festive period.

Our classic white turkeys are a household favourite for Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations around the UK. Most white turkeys are reared in barns; however, our turkeys are all genuinely free-range and are raised on natural, cereal-based diets to ensure superior quality over store-bought birds. White turkeys are known for their succulent, tasty meat and are perfect for those who love a healthy turkey breast or the dark meat found on the wings and legs of whole turkeys.

John Howe’s family-run farm in Tenterden is passionate about the welfare of the turkeys, and we never include antibiotics or growth promoters. We slow-grow our white turkeys over the course of 6 months to ensure their proper well-being and their full-flavoured taste when they’re ready for serving at Christmas. After 6 months, they reach full maturity and are then hand-plucked by our farmers to avoid the reduced quality of the meat that you get from wet plucking. After plucking, our turkeys are hung for a minimum of two weeks in a temperature-controlled room so they are in perfect condition when they reach your doorstep.
