FAQ Pre Orders

Our turkeys are ALL NATURAL and PASTURE RAISED. Broad Breasted Whites. We have been selling the same turkeys for over 40 years. We find it to be the best eating turkey, compared to any other turkey. Weather permitting, they’re raised in pastures (aka free range & grass fed) and also eat natural grains. They are FREE of hormones and antibiotics.

Our ALL NATURAL PASTURED RAISED turkeys are fed an ALL NATURAL grain diet. Organic feed, in bulk, is unfortunately not readily available to us, at this time. However it is something we are seriously working towards, for the near future.

Hemlock Hill Farm has been working with York Springs Farm in York Spring PA, for over 36yrs. This farm specializes in raising turkeys naturally. They start them as pullets in the Summer. Hemlock Hill Farm finishes raising them in the Fall.

Our turkeys are sold FRESH. We offer a 3lb size range to choose from, as we can’t promise an exact weight. The process of selecting the appropriate turkey for processing, is not an exact science, and done within 24 hours or LESS of your reserved pick up day. That's why we ask you to choose a certain size range & PICK UP DAY. 99% of the time we will be able to give you the weight you want, in the range you reserve.

We suggest 1.5 to 2.5lbs per person. It could be LESS if you and your guest are light meat eaters, serving a lot of sides or have another main dish. Or it could be MORE if you want a lot of left overs.

Our Turkeys are processed the day before your pick up. We suggest you pick up your FRESH turkey, no longer then 5 days prior to cooking, to guarantee freshness. It’s important to keep your turkey at a consistent temperature of 32 degrees F. If you’re low on fridge space, we suggest packing you turkey on ice in a cooler. This could be considered even better then a fridge.

If you are brining your turkey, we suggest giving yourself 24-48 hours for that process.
