Traditional Farming Excellence

SINCE 1928

Farming has been in our blood for hundreds of years.

At Barra Bronzes, we approach turkey farming as an artisanal craft. Our skilled farmers use traditional methods and a deep understanding of our turkeys' needs to create a product that stands out for its exceptional taste and quality. From the slow growth process and natural diet to the hand-plucking and game-hanging, every step is carefully considered and executed with the utmost care and attention to detail. The result is a turkey that is truly a work of art, crafted to be the centrepiece of your Christmas feast.

Slow grown turkey, over a 26-27 week period to ensure optimum quality in terms of flavour and texture. This is almost three times as long as a standard turkey!

To ensure the highest quality, we have very limited stock.  To guarantee your turkey, you must pre-order and pre-pay on our website.
