Lookie who are big teenage boys now!
Strutting and gobbling just like papa.

The back one is a Red Bronze and the front one is a Blue Narragansett.

Both of these boys will be looking for new homes. They are around 5 months old.

How do you keep your turkeys cool this summer? Kiddie pools.

Anyone with turkeys, get yourself a kiddie pool and fill it half way. They love to soak their feet to cool down.

Just be sure to clean it often as something about cool feet makes them šŸ’©šŸ¤­

Dusting off that sourdough starter and getting back into it.

Itā€™s been living a 1.5 year in the fridge. What a beautiful rise and still rising. Guess she isnā€™t to mad at me.

Peppers are coming in nicely.

šŸŒ¶ļø Various Bell Peppers

And check out this sunflower. Itā€™s over 10 feet fall and flowers / buds in all directions. Iā€™m not sure variety as it simply sprouted on its own but what a display itā€™s putting on. šŸŒ»

Not All Turkeys Are Created Equal!

When people hear ā€œRed Bourbon,ā€ they often think itā€™s a breedā€”but did you know itā€™s actually just a color variation of a heritage turkey?

Heritage turkeys are traditional breeds raised for flavor, resilience, and natural behaviorsā€”not just looks. While Red Bourbon is a popular and beautiful choice, there are many more stunning colors and patterns out there: Slate, Narragansett, Black Spanish, Royal Palm, and more.

What sets heritage turkeys apart isnā€™t just their appearanceā€”itā€™s their genetics, health, and ability to reproduce naturally. If youā€™re raising turkeys or looking for sustainable meat options, itā€™s worth getting to know these incredible birds.

Know the breed. Celebrate the variety. Choose heritage!

Home grown veggies, like leafy greens, indoors year round in Florida? Say what?

If you have heard of or even own an Aerogarden, then Tower Garden is simply Aerogarden on steroids!

Check out all these leafy greens. I got broccoli, various leaf lettuces, Swiss chard, kale, arugula, and even tomatoes, right at my finger tips.

Whose wants to add baby turkeys to their life this year? šŸ£šŸ„šŸ¦ƒ

Incubator 1 is 20 days out
Incubator 2 is 25 days out

While several of these babies are already spoken - the season is just beginning.

These eggs are heritage breeds. Meaning, they can live a long life without much effort - which means even more - they make GREAT PETS! (But are delicious too) Most turkeys you find in the big box stores are broad breasted AKA meat birds. While these birds too can be pets, they are more higher maintenance to maintain their diet so they donā€™t get over weight, leading to many health problems quickly.

If youā€™re thinking of adding heritage turkeys to your life or sinpky have questions- PM me for pricing or information.
