The difference of quality that the Loudonshire exhibits over commercial turkeys and even other heritage varieties are clear and profound. The genetics behind four-hundred years of history, heritage, and tradition is something that not many turkey varieties can claim. With over a decade of our breed selection and refinement for quality, the way our experience has taught us to raise the Loudonshire against modern methods, and the way we violate conventional thinking of feed, age, and lifestyle display themselves in an experience of what turkeys used to be and can once again become.
While commercial turkeys are on average raised for fourteen weeks and their heritage counterparts are generally raised for twenty-eight weeks, we raise our turkeys for nine months to present you with the highest-quality turkey for your Thanksgiving celebration. With our turkeys being allowed to live a longer, fuller life, you will receive a turkey that shares a richness in flavor with an incomparable texture.
Every year we release a limited number of our Loudonshire turkeys for availability at Thanksgiving. These purchases are the last step in our multi-year breed selection process. Through purchasing the turkeys we make available each year at Thanksgiving, you are not only receiving the highest quality turkey available - anywhere, you are buying a share in the future of the Loudonshire turkey and the direction of agriculture for the next generation.
