We had a few people back out on their Thanksgiving turkeys so please message us ASAP if interested in a farm fresh bird for your holiday dinner this year!
Our turkeys free range on a fenced in acre and are rounded up into a poultry tractor in the evenings to keep them safe from predators. Along with free ranging on any plants or insects they come across, our birds are also fed a non-GMO feed from a local mill. We will be raising our turkeys this year with the intention to process them as close to Thanksgiving as possible. We plan to raise both Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys along with Broad Breasted White turkeys. If interested in reserving a bird for your 2020 Thanksgiving please contact us via email thewindmillhillfarm@gmail.com.
The 2020 turkeys are here! We received 12 healthy turkey poults July 30th and all are still thriving. We have 6 broad breasted bronze and 6 broad breasted whites. They were moved out of the brooder in the barn, to our small poultry tractor at the end of August. Our large poultry tractor is being used by our final 2020 batch of Freedom Ranger Chickens. Once the large tractor is available, we'll be upgrading the turkeys to it. After that, we'll allow them to truly free range in our back acre pasture, seeking shelter at night back in the tractor.

2019 Bronze Processing Day
We processed our 11 broad breasted bronze turkeys on 8/10/19. We had 4 hens and 7 toms and it took about 10 hours to butcher, clean, and hand pluck these beauties. The smallest hen weighed in at 16.68lbs and our largest tom weighed in at an impressive 28.16lbs!
