Christmas Turkeys

You'll never taste a better Christmas turkey - it's our Promise!

We are members of the Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association (TFTA), producing Golden Promise turkeys, raised in the old fashioned way. These turkeys are developed from the slow-growing breeds and they are given only natural foods - which means that you will have an outstandingly good quality turkey for your Christmas dinner.

When you order a Goetre Farm turkey for your Christmas Dinner, you can be sure of the tastiest possible meal, because we follow the Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association Quality Assurance Code.

• Reared and produced with the greatest care by independent farmers, dedicated to the production of the finest truly Traditional Farmfresh Turkeys, and committed to the code.
• Grown slowly to full maturity and prime condition.
  
• Fattened on rations containing 70% cereals with no animal protein and never given antibiotics or other additives for growth promotion.
  
• Housed in buildings giving both natural light and ventilation while providing essential weather protection, with space at or better than Animal Welfare Code recommendations.
  
• Always handled with extreme care by experienced staff under the personal supervision of the farmer.
  
• Regularly bedded with comfortable straw or soft wood shavings.
• Grown on farms that are independently inspected to ensure that the Code is met in full.
