Let’s Talk Turkey
Fresh, Maine Raised Turkeys
We have partnered with select farms who are offering birds direct to B&G customers.
This Thanksgiving fresh whole turkeys will be delivered to customers directly from the farm. On Wednesday the 26th, Sunnyside Farm will be at Bleecker and Greer with your bird. This is an amazing opportunity to connect with the people who raise our food.
Sunnyside Farm raises Broad Breasted White & Bronze Turkeys. The average size is 18-20 pounds at $6.99/lb. Sunnyside will offer a few smaller birds around 14 pounds, and large birds, 25-28 pounds. The Étienne family hails from Linneus, Maine in Aroostook County. They began farming in 2002 and today their operation includes a licensed poultry slaughter facility and extensive U-Pick fruit orchards.
Sunnyside turkeys are not given antibiotics or other chemical additives. From their arrival on the farm as poults, they are fed natural rations from the local grain mill, Aroostook Milling Company. And, unlike the turkey you get frozen at the supermarket, Sunnyside turkeys are fresh, never frozen. Any questions or requests you have regarding your turkey should be directed to the number below.

They are offered fresh and frozen in a size range of roughly 16-24 pounds at $5.75/lb. They spend long, sunny days foraging in the field and singing loudly. The turkeys are provided with specially mixed feed that comes to us from a Maine family-owned farm and includes a blend of certified organic grains, as well as Maine grown non-GMO soy and Maine grown barley.
