This year, give your family the ultimate farm-to-table experience. We are offering a limited number of pasture-raised Murray McMurray Giant White turkeys, and we invite you to be part of their journey from our farm to your freezer.

Beyond just buying a high-quality, flavorful bird, you'll get the unique opportunity to learn how to humanely process your turkey, guided by our experienced family. It's a hands-on, educational experience that teaches you where your food comes from and creates a lasting memory for the whole family.

Imagine the pride you'll feel serving your Thanksgiving feast with a farm fresh turkey you helped process yourself.

Limited spots available! Reserve your turkey and your family's experience today.

In this Homestead Session, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the process of turning a pasture-raised chicken into clean, packaged meat ready for your freezer. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to build confidence, this is a safe place to learn, ask questions, and get your hands dirty alongside others on the same journey.

We keep things real, practical, and encouraging because this is a skill anyone can learn.
