Thanksgiving Turkeys
Pasture Raised Turkeys - 2025 Reservations Now Open!
2024 was our first year raising turkeys at Dancing Bear Farm, and we were thrilled to have been a part of so many Thanksgiving Day Celebrations!
2025 Turkeys will be available for pick up fresh not frozen the weekend before Thanksgiving on November 22nd & 23rd at Dancing Bear Farm in Claremont, NH.
Turkey deposits are non-refundable and go towards the total price of the bird. A deposit reserves your turkey for the November 22nd or 23rd pick up dates. Farming can sometimes be unpredictable, and if we are unable to fulfill your order you will be notified ASAP and we will refund the deposit in full.
We expect the turkeys to be in the 15-25 pound range. You can select your ideal weight on the reservation form but please understand that we may not be able to fulfill your exact weight request. Turkeys are $6/lb and the $25 deposit will go towards the final cost of the bird. Any turkeys over 25 lbs will be price capped at $150.
Pasture Raised Turkey
Our turkeys are raised on pasture starting at three weeks old with supplemental grain. They spend their nights in TurkShaw shelters to protect from predators and are able to roam free on pasture during the days. Each morning we move their TurkShaw shelter which encourages the turkeys to explore a new section of pasture and spread their fertilizer (turkey manure!) on new ground. These turkeys are living their best lives and we are so grateful that you are interested in supporting these practices through your purchase of a Dancing Bear Farm turkey.
TurkShaw Shelters
Our TurkShaw shelters were made possible thanks to funding from the New Hampshire Conservation Districts Climate Resiliency Grant. We modified Abundant Permaculture’s ChickShaw design to be able to hold and move turkeys to new pasture each day without the use of a tractor. This is our first year using the TurkShaws and so far we - and the turkeys - are pleased with the design!
