ABOUT US
Tom Carr and his wife Susan have been rearing Christmas turkeys at Millhill Farm in the Glen just a couple of miles outside of Dumfries for 18 years.

We have built our reputation for quality and great tasting turkeys with a primary aim always in mind - by minimising stress in the rearing and production of the birds

Please Note: We can't deliver any turkeys ordered through this website. Our quality farm fresh turkeys are for pick-up from the farm only.

REARING
We do not mass-produce so our birds can enjoy plenty of space, fresh air and natural light. They can fly, dustbath and roost - unlike their intensively farmed cousins that are produced for cheap meat.

Our birds are fed on a natural wheat based diet balanced with a vegetable protein and do not receive any additives in their food. They do not need routine antibiotics as intensively farmed birds do, because their own immune systems are strong enough to fight off disease.

We grow our own barley straw bedding that also contains grass for the turkeys to scratch through and eat.

PRODUCTION
The turkeys are slaughtered on the farm (no stressful travelling) and are hand plucked as opposed to being put into a plucking machine with hot water, as mass-produced poultry would be.

This hand finishing results in the absence of bruising to the meat that plucking machines can leave and increases the keeping quality.

After being hand plucked, the birds are then hung the traditional way in refrigeration to develop their flavour and texture. They are then hand dressed and presented oven ready.

WHITE TURKEYS AND KELLY BRONZE BRED TURKEYS
Both our White Turkeys and our recently introduced Kelly Bronze bred Turkeys are produced in the same traditional way and our customers come from all over Dumfries and Galloway, England and as far away as Switzerland.

If eating good quality meat is important to you then try a turkey from us this year - you will not be disappointed.

White: £6.80 per kilogram (kg)

Bronze: £7.90 per kilogram (kg)
