Our Free range white and Bronze turkeys come from Steve Childerhouse, of Great Grove Poultry, Whews Farm, Caston, Norfolk.
Arriving in May and June direct from the hatchery they are cared for by dedicated stockmen who take pride in their work. Once old enough they are left to wander in ancient woodland and basically as with the geese do as they please, not harassed and just living naturally.
They have access to straw-bedded barns at night, but quite often choose to sleep outside depending on the weather.
The birds are grown to full maturity, before being processed on the farm. They are then game hung to bring out all their natural flavours - juicy and succulent, a unique taste that every Christmas table deserves.
Testimonial
"I just wanted to say that the turkey was the 'Best Ever' and I really mean that. Everyone who ate it commented that they 'Didnt know turkey could taste so good'". Clare Hargreaves BBC Good Food Magazine.
We are proud to say that Steve's Turkeys won 3 awards at the recent Anglian Turkey Association Awards.
All of our free range turkeys come from Steven Childerhouse at Great Grove Poultry which is a traditional family run farm. All of their Norfolk Turkeys and Geese are free to roam around their 35 acres of Norfolk woodland and grassland enhancing a stress free environment.
Using an aged old method of farming they allow their traditional Norfolk Turkey and Geese plenty of time to grow to maturity without using any growth promoters or antibiotics, giving a far superior quality of bird with natural gamey flavours.
Everything is processed on the farm, graded and hung in large chillers (minimum 10 days) to make them exceptionally tender, adding all the natural flavours that this type of production depends on.

All our free range geese come from Stephen Childerhouse of Whews Farm, Caston, Norfolk.
Stephen has a small family farm who specialise in producing quality geese just for Christmas. The farm is approx 35 acres in size and covered in woodland and grassland which is used to rear our poultry in a stress free environment
Brought to the farm in June, the geese are reared inside for the first 2-3 weeks before gradually allowed access to grass. Once they have enough plumage to keep them warm and dry, they are then given access to open grassland where they are literally left outside with hedges for shade and shelter from the weather.
Our geesse have a very distinct golden colour to their skinm achieved by feeding them on their natural diet of wheat and grass.
