At Diestel Family Ranch, we slow-grow our birds.
Turkeys, and poultry in general, are inherently fast growing compared to other animals raised domestically. Many turkey farms want the biggest turnover, and this shows in the food their birds are given, and the environment they grow in.
We give our turkeys extra time to grow by paying close attention to what they need throughout their lives, from healthy grains, vitamins, minerals, essential oils and probiotics. Along with their ability to do what turkeys do - interact with their surroundings, be active, and peck at grasses and insects.
These slower growth rates facilitate an environment that is inherently less stressful, creating a healthier and happier raising environment for the turkeys to thrive. This translates into a better product, more value for our customers, and a flavorful and delicious meal choice.
With hard work and passion we are redefining modern farming.
From cold milling our own grains to preserve natural enzymes, to employing regenerative agriculture, to slow growing our birds. We are proud of the above and beyond standards that we set for ourselves.
