Two birds, one standard: slow rearing, proper welfare, and preparation by hand on the farm.
Our bronzes are reared exclusively for Christmas. They live outdoors in the woodland at Charlesfort Estate, free to roam and forage day and night for up to six months, more than twice the age of a standard supermarket bird. That slow growing is where the flavour comes from: a richer, fuller taste and a firmer texture that holds beautifully in the roasting tin.
It is the bird we would put on our own table, and the one our regulars book earliest every year.
The Charlesfort White is the classic Irish Christmas turkey: mild, tender and consistent. It is barn reared in airy, open barns with room to move, natural light and careful feed and care. If your table prefers a gentler flavour, or you are feeding a crowd on a budget, the White is an honest, excellent bird.
Every turkey we sell is fresh, never frozen. Birds are prepared in our own farm butchery in the days before your delivery or collection date, weighed and labelled to your order. If you visit the farm shop, we will happily talk you through how our birds are reared, fed and finished.
