Please Note About Sizing

Our turkeys aren’t manufactured — they’re raised naturally, which means they grow to the size they grow. We don’t force-feed them or add anything to make them bigger. The farm uses past history to forecast sizes, but that doesn’t guarantee exact availability.

Because of this, we may not always have the exact size you request. If that happens, we’ll reach out to you and help you choose the closest available option.

Each turkey will fall somewhere within its listed weight range — you may get one closer to the low end or the high end. While we’ll always do our best to honor specific size requests, we can’t make promises, especially during the busy Thanksgiving rush.

If you’re hoping for a larger bird, we recommend ordering the next size up to be safe.
