Free-Range Bronze Turkey from Fosse Meadows Farm

If you're looking for a special turkey this Christmas then you need look no further, Fosse Meadows Farm provide Free-Range slow grown Bronze Turkeys delivered to your door.

Their traditional strains of bronze turkeys arrive at the farm as day-old poults and are slow-reared on grassy pastures to maturity at 6 months! Their turkeys are grown for around twice the length of time as commercial retail turkeys, and therefore spend a greater amount of time free-ranging and foraging. They keep them in small flocks to promote natural behaviour and feed them on an additive-free cereal diet. These slow-growing traditional turkeys have good fat marbling through the meat, are dry-plucked and game hung for 10-14 days, resulting in generous and succulent meat of exceptional flavour. Rediscover the true taste of turkey!

They are also a member of the Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association so grow and prepare their birds to their Golden Turkey independent growing standard-ensuring the highest quality and taste for fresh, traditional Christmas turkeys. They prepare their birds on the farm to reduce stress, where they are dry plucked and hung for 10 days for extra flavour. All birds come with a pop-up cooking timer and recipes from chef Rachel Green to help you with the perfect roasted turkey.

If you're London based then you can also collect from various London markets, otherwise they will arrange your delivery in time for Christmas, with prizes ranging from £49.00 to £97.00 this really is money well spent on a quality product.

"Generous and succulent meat of exceptional flavour"

Fosse Meadows Farm is set in the rolling green fields of North Kilworth, Leicestershire - the poultry farm started close to the Fosse Meadows nature park, to which the farm owes its name. It's a fourth generation farm producing free-range and very slow-grown poultry using traditional, organic and compassionate methods, to produce the very best bird using the highest welfare.

Owners Nick Ball and Jacob Sykes returned to the Ball's family farm in Leicestershire to start the poultry farming business after living in 'Peck'em', London – as a fashion designer and property developer respectively. Nick and Jacob's keen interest in good food meant their aim was to produce something a bit different – a bird they were both happy to say was of the highest quality, of excellent flavour and succulence, and raised organically using compassion and artisan farming standards.

Fosse Meadows Farm produces free-range, slow-grown chickens all year round. The traditional French breed chickens are slow-reared to full maturity (81 days), with access to mobile sheds during the daytime when bad weather occurs and overnight for protection from foxes. They are fed an additive-free corn-rich diet with full access to green pastures and wild flower hedges, roaming freely, scratching around in the clover fields and at the bottom of trees and hedges. Fosse Meadows chickens won a Good Housekeeping award in 2015, have numerous recommendations from chefs and food writers and came top in a blind taste test by a Michelin starred chef.
