Criteria | Supermarket | Rosamondford |
---|---|---|
Breeds | Normally a single fast-growing stag turkey bred quickly. | Traditional breeds, mostly hens. |
Care | Reared in crowded, intensive, controlled environments. Even “free range” birds may only have spent a few days outside. | Reared in spacious barns and allowed to roam freely in farm fields as soon as the birds are mature. |
Diet | Often fed with cheap grain and artificial additives to accelerate growth. | Only fed a natural cereal and vegetable protein diet without additives or animal proteins. |
Maturity | Often slaughtered when the bird reaches two months old. Water may be added to increase weight. | Fully mature adults reared for at least 24 weeks which are heavier and have more meat. |
Taste | Younger frozen birds are normally dry and tasteless when cooked. | Dense meat and natural marbling ensure a succulent taste and texture. |
Transportation | Often transported long distances, plucked under water by machine and instantly frozen. | Birds are grown, prepared and supplied on the farm premises. |
Freshness | Usually frozen perhaps months before they reach your table. | Always fresh. You can collect and cook on the same day. |
Price | Can be cheap per pound, but you are often paying for water and poor-quality birds. | Better overall value and taste. |
Guarantees | Supermarkets rarely offer taste guarantees. | Each of our turkeys carries a quality guarantee. If you’re dissatisfied for any reason, we refund your money. |
