On the Farm

UK turkey producer Dave Adlington on his Warwickshire farmThank you for choosing to find out about locally reared turkey - and what a great choice it is!

Not only will you have a delicious bird for the table but you are supporting the local economy and the environment too.

Whether you buy direct from a nearby farm, or from a resident butcher, your purchase makes a direct contribution to the local economy; it creates jobs and is kind to the environment.

Travelling from farm to table, your turkey collects just a few food miles so buying locally is better for both the bird and for your community.

And it's worth remembering that British farmers are renowned for producing food to a world-leading standard, but that's not all they do. Our farmers carefully manage the beautiful British countryside, maintaining a landscape that is home to a diverse range of wildlife and flora.

By buying local, you're helping them to do that.
