In the 1960s Dr. J. Robert Smyth at the University of Massachusetts, created the Midget White turkey breed to meet an anticipated demand for a small turkeyâ??capable of fitting into the smaller refrigerators of an increasing number of urban dwellers and single households. Yet the market for a smaller bird did not develop as predicted and a lack of demand almost pulled this breed out of production. The survival of this breed now lies completely in the hands of private individuals. Both The meat and the eggs of the Midget White are outstanding in quality

Naturally, humanely-raised chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and eggs. I do not and never will routinely use medications on my birds. Instead I implement high standards of care to keep my flocks healthy, and allow them to grow at the rate nature intended. I specialize in heritage and rare breeds; you will never find a commercial hybrid in my flock! They are fed a high quality blend of grains, and provided with unlimited access outdoors to forage.
