Unlike fast-growing industrial turkeys, these birds are raised to 6-8 months old, roughly twice the age of a conventional turkey, and have pasture access throughout their lives except during severe weather or biosecurity risks like avian flu. They're fed a vegetarian diet with no antibiotics, no growth hormones, and no artificial insemination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach turkey comes from one of eight heritage breeds: Bronze, Narragansett, Bourbon Red, White Holland, Black, Slate, Beltsville Small White, and Royal Palm.
