SIZES OF OUR FRESH TURKEYS
Disclaimer: We strive to accommodate all turkey size requests. If the farm is out of a size, they will substitute to their nearest available weight, as we will also. We apologize for any inconvenience if this occurs.
Turkey sizes go in 4 lb. increments ranging from 12 lbs. all the way up to 30+ lbs. Please note that smaller birds are difficult to come by.
