USDA Certified Organic Heritage Turkeys and Chickens

Welcome to Guttenberg Farms

Guttenberg Farms produces USDA certified organic heritage turkeys and chickens that are pastured outdoors in the fresh air and with clean water. Absolutely no chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics or other prohibited substances are used. Our organic heritage turkeys and chickens are raised the old fashioned way -- slow and natural. Our turkeys are extremely rare since they are not only heirloom turkeys, but also USDA certified organic. Pastured heritage turkeys take over 28 weeks to reach market weight compared to just 16 weeks for the industrial white commercial "frankenbirds." Heritage turkey farmers only produce around 30,000 heritage turkeys nationally compared to the 275,000,000 commercial white turkeys produced by the industry giants. Of the 30,000 heritage turkeys raised nationally, less than 10,000 are USDA certified organic. Our customers agree, Guttenberg Farms pastured organic heritage turkeys taste better and have an appealing strong natural turkey flavor. Guttenberg Farms strictly adheres to the USDA National Organic Program Standards (NOPS) and is certified through the Midwest Organic Services Association (MOSA). We specialize in raising Standard Bronze, Blue Slate, Narragansett, Royal Palm, Bourbon Red and Black Spanish heirloom turkeys. We also raise a few standard commercial white USDA organic turkeys since some of customers have requested them.

Raising and processing heritage breeds are more costly and time consuming than raising white breasted turkeys. While supermarket turkeys grow to an average of 32 pounds over 18 weeks, heritage birds take anywhere from 24-30 to reach their market weight. But those who have tasted heritage breeds say the cost-and the wait-are well worth it.
