Preordering Is Open

Turkey & Holiday Ham. One Standard:
No Shortcuts.

We know it's way too early to think about Thanksgiving. The turkeys (and the hams), however, do not know that — and we only have so many of them.

Heritage Black Turkey and Naked Turkey pre-orders are open now — one bred slow for depth of flavor, the other left clean for cooks who want to season their own way. No antibiotics, no injections, no shortcuts, either way. And for the ham table: a Cheshire Heritage Pork spiral-cut ham with honey glaze.

Both come from the same small-farm system in North Carolina, raised on an all-vegetable diet with nothing injected, brined, or added. Where they differ is the breed — and the eating experience that comes with it.

The Farm Behind the Bird

Both lines come from Joyce Farms, a family-owned poultry producer that's been at it since 1962. Their belief is a simple one: small family farms, working with a little more care and a little less speed, raise a better animal. That's the same philosophy behind the small-farm relationships we already lean on for our regular weekly cuts — so bringing their turkeys into the shop for the holidays was an easy call.

Every bird is hatched, raised, and hand-processed in North Carolina, on an all-vegetable diet with no antibiotics, hormones, or added ingredients — the same standard whether it's the slow-grown Heritage line or the everyday Naked Turkey.
