DEPOSIT ONLY - Turkey - Birch Lake Abattoir - $50

$50.00

This listing is a $50 DEPOSIT ONLY for a FRESH Turkey, raised by the Birch Lake Abattoir. There are only 15 turkeys available. We recommend thinking about Christmas, and picking up one of these and freezing till then.

There are NO ROCHAFARM TURKEYS this year.

Turkeys will be arriving on Friday October 9, 2026, in the late afternoon and must be picked up by the end of the day. Sizes are between 12 and 20 pounds. The remaining balance will be owed on pickup. Turkeys will not be frozen and must be picked up on Friday Any turkeys that are not picked up as agreed, they will be sold to others on the waiting list, and the deposit will not be refunded. If you use the “pay in store” code, all deposits must be made within one week or your preorder will be cancelled. These will be WHOLE Turkeys or CUT IN HALF (extra charge).

We will have some ground turkey available in a few weeks as well

Because of the variable cost of feed and ultimate weight of bird, we are unable to give an estimate of the final price.

When you support a local farmer, this is what you are paying for

  1. the cost to purchase young livestock, or support the breeding stock to generate your own chicks to grow out, plus all the costs associated with feed/bedding/vet if required - this is known as the farmer fee

  2. the kill fee and disposal of carcass - all products sold at retail must occur at an accredited facility and supervised by a provincially licensed meat inspector

  3. any costs associated with butchering

When reserving, please include a size preference. If you would like your turkey cut in half, please include this in the comments at checkout.

Raising 2 kinds of chickens this year, classified as heritage breed, the Famous French Breed called Bresse Bleu, and crosses of Black Copper Marans and Easter Eggers. These breeds of chicken are raised mostly for meat, but still produce a lot of eggs for consumption. They display chicken-like characteristics of foraging for bugs and greens, roosting at nighttime and broody behaviour to hatch and raise their own chicks. These will have a taste and texture closer to what your more distant ancestors probably ate on their farms, smaller breasts, larger legs, firmer texture and stronger flavour. These are not typically available for purchase unless you know a farmer!
