We are excited to be working with our friend Alec Bradford at the
Animal Welfare Approved Leaping Waters Farm in Shawsville,
VA. Alec is one of the first farmers to re-introduce old
genetic turkey lines to Virginia. Alec raises Heritage turkey
breeds such as the Narragansett, the Chocolate, the Black Spanish,
the Bourbon Red, and the White Holland. Unlike last year, these
turkeys will not be processed at a Kosher facility.
His birds have a unique terroir due to the rich ecosystem and
the variety of native grasses found on the farm. Leaping Waters is
located on 600 acres in the heart of the southern Appalachian
Mountain’s between the Allegheny Highlands and the Blue Ridge
Mountains.
By buying a Leaping Waters Farm Heritage Turkey you are supporting
a network of independent growers, preserving endangered lines of
turkey breeds that you must eat in order to save, and ensuring
humane animal treatment.
The Heritage Turkey Project has been a great success, both for
farmers and food lovers everywhere. Breeds that were on the brink
of extinction have been brought back and are now in the process of
recovering. It is because of you that this project has been so
successful. When you buy a heritage turkey, not only will you enjoy
the best turkey you have ever had, but you will also be doing your
part to say NO to factory farming and YES to responsible,
sustainable forms of agriculture.
All turkeys come with neck and gizzards.
