Producer Spotlight: John Howe Turkeys

Christmas is on its merry way, and we're thrilled to announce our new partnership with John Howe Turkeys, a family-run farm based in Biddenden, Kent, known for producing some of the finest free-range turkeys in the UK.

John Howe Turkeys have been perfecting the art of turkey farming for over 30 years, with a commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. Their turkeys are reared with care and attention to their welfare: each bird is raised in small flocks, giving them the space and freedom to roam naturally in open fields, rather than being confined to cramped conditions. 

The turkeys enjoy a stress-free environment, with access to spacious grassy paddocks where they can roam, forage, and exhibit natural behaviours. This approach allows the birds to grow slowly and develop rich, full-bodied flavour. In addition to their free-range lifestyle, the turkeys are fed on a high-quality, natural diet specially designed to promote health and wellbeing, without artificial growth enhancers or inhibitors.

John Howe Turkeys are also committed to sustainability, from the way they manage the land to their eco-friendly packaging. Their focus on quality extends beyond the rearing process to include the careful hand-finishing of each turkey. Using traditional dry-plucking methods, they ensure that the meat is preserved at its best, giving it a superior texture and flavour that sets them apart from more commercially produced birds.

As a result of this dedication to ethical farming and quality, John Howe Turkeys have earned multiple Great Taste Awards, making them a favourite for Christmas tables across the country. Whether you're looking for a whole bird or a crown, each turkey is prepared with the utmost care to ensure a delicious, succulent roast.

In exciting news, John Howe Turkeys are now available at Farmfetch for Christmas pre-orders, with whole birds, crowns and rolled breasts on offer, as well as goose. Pre-orders will be delivered on December 23rd – explore the range and get yours now!
