Pioneers in Turkey

Experts in farming since 1835, Plainville Farms was one of the first turkey companies in the country to humanely grow healthy and great-tasting turkeys with natural, time-tested methods refined over six generations of farming. Originating in the rolling hills of Central New York, the company’s reputation for growing turkeys humanely and free of antibiotics raised the bar for others in the industry. Plainville Farms’ growing methods drew the attention not only of natural food stores and major retailers, but the attention of a growing demographic of consumers who became more concerned about where their food comes from and how the animals are treated.

Just like in 1835, our turkeys still have plenty of room to roam (although a bit less drafty than those early days). And their food is plainly vegetarian with plenty of well water. Notice we’ve said nothing about antibiotics. That’s because there are no antibiotics in our turkey. We’re proud to be old fashioned in that regard.

Of course, life moves faster than it did six generations ago. That means almost everyone can use a little help speeding dinner to the table. (As long as fast doesn’t shortcut flavor.) Fortunately, every convenient product we offer starts with the same pure, natural, Plainville Farms turkey. So whether you’re making a quick sandwich, throwing a patty on the grill or sautéing a cutlet, the result is flavor that would delight our grandparents—but at a speed that would astound them.
