JD Farms has a great

selection of fresh turkeys in

store this year, in a variety

of sizes. They do not take

orders so you can just come

on in and get one a few

days ahead of time.

Turkeys at JD Farms are

fed a natural diet of grain,

vitamins, and minerals

without any antibiotics

or animal by-products.

Their turkeys are raised in

spacious, well-ventilated

barns with free access to

fresh water and a constant

supply of fresh feed. Each

turkey must pass a stringent

certification program which

ensures our customers only

receive the very best. This

special care and diet bring

about the highest quality

and exceptional flavor.
