Delicious and Nutritious Pasture-Raised Turkey
* Pasture-Raised, Non-GMO, Heritage Turkeys
* Non-Gmo, Soy-Free, Non-Medicated chicken feed
* No mRNAs, No Antibiotics, No Added Hormones, and No other Junk
Pasture-Raised, Non-GMO Heritage Turkeys
Our Turkeys are fed a Non-GMO, Soy-Free, Corn-Free, Non-Medicated feed to supplement their free-range diet on pasture.
True Free-Ranging
Under the USDA free-range certification standards, a housing structure with one small door to the outside, even if it is rarely opened, and even if it is only to a small concrete pad can still be certified.
When we say "Free-Range" and "Pasture-Raised", we mean that our poultry are actually outside on pastures with real grass. They can lounge in the shade or bask in the sun. They search for bugs and insects and feast on greenery.
Our poultry live their BEST Cluckin' Life!
Non-Gmo, Soy-Free, Corn-Free
Food allergens can still lurk in your food even when not listed on the ingredient list. Studies have shown that what an animal eats ends up in the meat, eggs, etc. of that animal, and companies don’t have to disclose the animal feed ingredients on the end product label.
Soy is the #1 ingredient in most animal feeds (even organic feeds!), because soy is a cheap protein that helps chickens grow and mature faster. Which is good for factory farm profits but exasperates women’s health issues.
We raise our own Heritage Turkeys on Non-Gmo, Soy-Free, Corn-Free, Non Medicated chicken feed. No cutting corners!
NO Antibiotics, NO mRNAs, and NO other Junk
The labels, "No Antibiotics Ever" or "Raised without Antibiotics", are typically just Marketing Buzz Words. Flocks on a "No Antibiotic" program are given antibiotics when they get sick. And another loophole of Big Business is to give the antibiotics while the chick is still in the egg before it hatches, so they can still say "no antibiotics".
On our farm, we believe in raising naturally healthy birds in a non-crowded, real free-ranging environment. Our poultry are healthy and happy naturally. No Antibiotics, No Added Hormones, No mRNAs, No GMOs, and No other Junk.
Air-Chilled Poultry
The traditional "water-chill" method of most butchers requires chlorinated water to process multiple poultry, as it is at an increased risk for cross-contamination. And a hot bird in cold water will absorb some (2-12% of its body weight) of that chlorinated water which compromises the flavor and texture. Thus, on average you pay an extra 8% of its body weight for added water with water-chilled poultry.
Air-chilling creates a better tasting bird which is more flavorful and tender, because it has no extra moisture and a reduced risk of contamination. All you pay for with air-chilled is poultry (no added water). And perhaps the best benefit is that it produces that coveted crispy skin that just isn't possible with water-chilled.
As an added benefit to the environment, air-chilled poultry save tens of thousands of gallons of water per day.
Pictured here is air-chilled chickens.
Vacuumed-Sealed
Our USDA butcher processes each turkey. Then, it is air-chilled before being vacuum-sealed, weighed, and labeled.
Vacuum sealing has several benefits:
* Keeps meat fresher for longer
* Protects meat from freezer burn
* Decreases the amount of space needed
Born and Raised in the USA
Not only are you supporting American, but you can rest assured that your turkeys never set foot on foreign land.

"I can not say enough wonderful things about this farm! We are so thankful that we were lucky enough to cross paths. We live 1.5 hours away on our little starting homestead, but we will continue to drive out to Hendricks because they have impressed us EVERY step of the way! One of their greatest attributes is their dedication to their animals and their well being! They are excellent with the animals and take such wonderful care of them while still allowing them the freedoms of a natural environment! Another thing that really draws us to this farm is the time they've taken to educate others, share information, and even help solve problems! We recently ran into an issue on our homestead, and this farm is our solution! Thing is, they didn't help to "get" anything out of it at all - but they help just do the right thing. They do this for people, but most importantly here, for the animals too! I'm immensely impressed at their ability to be so professional, yet still personable and incredibly helpful. I don't think we could ever NOT learn from them! And my family is so grateful for their insight and kindness! Thank you, Hendricks Farm! Y'all ROCK!" - Rachel from Georgia

"Michael and I had the pleasure of meeting Jenny yesterday with Hendricks Farm to pick up our homegrown heritage chickens. We also picked up three Americana live chickens to put in our chicken coop.What an amazing woman, her love of what she does radiates from every ounce of her being. One can only image the care she gives to her farm animals. When I first heard of Hendricks Farms I tried to buy some of their chickens, however they were already sold out so I was able to preorder to be sure I was on their growing list and we picked them up 12/30/22. In the meantime we decided to try some of their beef, the presentation of the way it was packaged and shipped was beyond my expectations. We have ordered from other farms around the country and nobody has packed their precious food like Hendricks Farms. Which makes me realize the pride that they take in what they do.It is so important to support our local farmers, not only will you be eating better, feeling better, you will also be helping small farmers that care and make a difference." --Cindy from Georgia

Frequently Asked Questions
How are my turkeys delivered?
Each Thanksgiving Turkey is delivered vacuum-sealed and frozen before the holiday, so you have time to thaw it.
How large is a Hendricks Farm Turkey?
Since each turkey is unique, size varies. However, an average chicken weighs 14-16 lbs. On the low-end, they're 11lbs, and they're 19lbs on the high-end.
How many people will a Hendricks Farm Chicken feed?
The average turkey can serve 2 adults for 8-12 meals as side meat or 16-24 meals if chopped and used within a larger dish such as a casserole. In addition, one average turkey will also make 16-24 cups of rich and delicious broth.
Does it contain saline solution like a grocery store turkey?
No. We do not add any solution to increase the product weight. This also means that there is NO added salt to the turkey for those on a low-sodium diet.
Why do you only sell whole turkeys?
We believe in honoring the whole animal by utilizing all of it. This also gives you the maximum amount of meat along with the bones for the lowest price possible.
How are orders fulfilled?
We schedule multiple butcher dates at our USDA processor, as they cannot process all our turkeys at one time. All turkeys will be shipped mid-November, so they arrive with time to thaw before Thanksgiving.
How many turkeys should I order for the year?
Most people limit turkey to Thanksgiving or Christmas feasts, but it's a great year-round meat. Once cooked, it lasts for quite a while, and the cooked meat can be used in place of chicken.
When is the Final Order Deadline?
We usually do not reach our final order deadline, as turkeys sell out quickly. We only have 50 turkeys available this year!
