With Thanksgiving just around the corner, this week we're celebrating all things turkey! Whether you're considering adding these majestic birds to your homestead or just curious about the benefits they bring, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know. Raising turkeys on your farm can offer a range of rewards beyond just the delicious holiday meal—they are excellent foragers, natural pest control experts, and can even help improve your soil quality with their scratching and fertilizing habits. Plus, their rich personalities and unique quirks make them a fun and fascinating addition to any farm or homestead.

We’ll dive into practical tips for raising turkeys, including housing, feeding, and how to keep them healthy and happy throughout the year. 

Not quite ready to start your own flock of turkeys? No problem! Pike Mountain Farm is here to provide you with locally raised, pasture-fed turkeys for your Thanksgiving table. Savor the flavor of a turkey that’s been raised with care, and support small-scale, sustainable farming practices while you’re at it.

Join us for this turkey-filled episode and discover why these birds are more than just a holiday tradition—they can be a valuable part of your homestead all year long!
