How do I order a turkey? +
Reserve online through the reservation form on our turkeys page with a $45 per-bird deposit, paid by card on Clover's secure checkout. The balance is due at pickup, based on your turkey's final weight ($8/lb — $7/lb for CSA members). Early bird: choose the $80 deposit option by September 15 and receive 5% off your total. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee — on the deposit, and on the balance if you pay that by card (cash or check at pickup avoids it).
What's the difference between the standard and early-bird deposits? +
Both reserve your turkey, and both count toward your final bill — the difference is how much you put down and what you get for it. The standard deposit is $45 per bird. The early-bird deposit is $80 per bird and earns you 5% off your total, as long as you choose it by September 15. Either way, your deposit is subtracted from the balance due at pickup (calculated from your turkey's final dressed weight), and deposits are non-refundable.
How much do your turkeys cost? +
Our pasture-raised turkeys are $8 per pound, based on the final dressed weight.
What sizes are available? +
Our turkeys typically range from about 10 to 28+ pounds. Smaller birds (under 14 lbs) are in very high demand and go quickly, so reserve early if you need a small turkey. We fill orders in the order they're received.
What breed are your turkeys? +
We raise broad breasted white turkeys. We do not raise heritage breeds — most customers prefer the broad breasted whites for how they dress out.
Are your turkeys fresh or frozen? +
Turkeys processed the weekend before Thanksgiving at our USDA processor are air-cooled and available fresh. Some turkeys are processed earlier in November and frozen — these are available for sale as well. Frozen turkeys are great for smoking and are available throughout the year while supplies last.
When are turkeys available? +
Fresh turkeys are processed at a USDA facility the weekend before Thanksgiving and are available for pickup by appointment during Thanksgiving week. Frozen turkeys are available throughout the year while supplies last — they're especially popular for smoking.
Can I get a turkey for Christmas? +
Yes! We typically have frozen turkeys available through December and beyond. If you want a specific size or prefer frozen, let us know — we can usually accommodate. Contact us to check current availability.
Do you sell live turkeys? +
No, all our turkeys are USDA processed before sale. We do not sell live birds.
Can you ship turkeys? +
No, we do not ship turkeys. All turkeys must be picked up at the farm by appointment.
When should I reserve my turkey? +
We start taking reservations in late summer/early fall. We recommend reserving as early as possible — especially for smaller birds, which are in very high demand.
Do you sell turkey parts like drumsticks? +
We occasionally have turkey drumsticks and other parts available. Contact us to ask about current availability.
Can I request a specific size? +
You can request a size range on the reservation form and we'll do our best to match it. However, we can't guarantee exact weights — nature doesn't work that way! We typically get within a pound or two of your request.
How are your turkeys raised? +
Our turkeys are pasture-raised with plenty of room to roam and forage outdoors. They're supplemented with locally sourced grain and raised without antibiotics or hormones. All birds are processed at a USDA-inspected facility.
