We supply our award-winning Christmas turkeys to a select group of independent butchers and farm shops, as well as directly from our farm shop to customers across Chelmsford, Billericay, Brentwood, Basildon, Braintree, Maldon, Romford and the surrounding areas.

Our turkeys are hand-reared on our family farm to the highest welfare standards, then carefully prepared on-site and supplied oven-ready for Christmas.
