SAM ’ S TURKEYS
As an entrepreneurial 14 year old , Sam wanted to diversify from family tradition and his journey to Sam ’ s Turkeys started with 25 birds in a makeshift pen at the bottom of the garden !
After learning the basics at KellyBronze , Sam began rearing a flock of his own turkeys and , within just a couple of years , his reputation had attracted the attention of the Golden Turkey Quality Assurance Guarantee . Sam is a committee member for GTQA and joins 40 other like-minded , passionate and accredited turkey farmers in the UK . The GTQA ensures that its accredited farmers meet the highest UK standard for Christmas turkeys .
His birds arrive as poults in June and once they have reached full maturity , they are hand-plucked , hand-prepared and game hung for 14 days – according to tradition . This process enhances the tenderness and taste of the meat , ensuring that Sam supplies the best produce for your celebratory dinner .
The welfare of Sam ’ s birds is steadfast with his commitment to careful stockmanship and poultry husbandry . His turkeys are slow-growing , free-range and treated with the highest standard of care throughout their life . Sam knows the value of ethically produced food and that is key to how he successfully runs his business .
Bronze turkeys are the closest domestic breed to a wild turkey , which means they need an environment where they can exhibit their natural behaviours . When Sam developed his new paddock this year , he had just that in mind .
The new surroundings are built around the farm ’ s apricot trees , so not only do the turkeys ’ living quarters replicate their habitat in the wild , it also means they can use their instincts to forage for food . To add to this and contribute to his environmental responsibilities , Sam often feeds the turkeys surplus fruit from the farm . They certainly get one of their five a day !
Since the makeshift pen , and after six busy years , Sam ’ s Turkeys has grown into a wellknown and trusted brand in East Kent . As well as new and returning customers , Sam is proud to work alongside businesses such as THE PIG - at Bridge Place , The Dove at Dargate and Macknade in Faversham .

At Sam ’ s Turkeys all of our turkeys are reared to the highest welfare standards . They are free to range the meadow and grassland which makes up nearly 4 acres of land on our farm .
Traditionally grown over a longer period of time than your standard supermarket turkey . This allows the tenderness and flavour to develop , making this turkey the centrepiece of your table .
A happy turkey for a Happy Christmas
Hand-plucked , hand-prepared and hung for at least 14 days , the birds are guaranteed under the Golden Turkey Quality Assurance scheme as a premium product .
