We love this poem created by one of our customers, Nick Emens! (with maybe a little help from AI 😉) It nicely sums up why our turkeys are the best you can get!
The Taste of Fairlight
At Upper Fairlight, we’ve raised with care,
Bronze turkeys free, in open air,
For forty years, our farm’s proud boast,
A Christmas bird that’s loved the most.
As day-old chicks they first arrive,
In late July, they start to thrive,
Beneath the lamps for warmth they stay,
Then roam the fields by light of day.
While others rush in two short months,
Our turkeys grow with time and trust,
Slow and free, with space to roam,
In barns at night, they’re safe at home.
Their meat is dense, their flavor true,
With richer fat and taste anew,
Not like the birds from stores you see,
Ours are moist with tender spree.
What’s the secret to this delight?
A turkey hung for ten days’ light,
Enzymes work, the flavor grows,
A tender feast that truly shows.
Though time and space may cost too much,
It’s why our birds have magic touch,
While others dry, tasteless may seem,
Fairlight’s turkeys reign supreme.
This poem highlights the unique care and attention given to Fairlight Farm’s turkeys, making them special for the holiday table!
