With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we would like to tell you all about Belwood Poultry, where we get our fresh local turkeys.
Belwood Poultry was founded in 1962 and named after their home communities of Belle River and Woodslee in southwestern Ontario. It remains a family-owned turkey farm and processor, sourcing turkeys from local family-owned farms.
Belwood’s turkeys are raised on a high-quality, grain-based diet with keen attention to their welfare. Turkeys roam freely in modern barns where temperature, humidity, light and ventilation are carefully monitored to keep the birds healthy. Like all Canadian turkey farmers, no growth hormones are used.
They’ve recently upgraded their facility and equipment to stay on top of the latest food industry innovations. For example, they invested in air chill technology in order to keep up with new consumer demands.
Visit https://frabertsfreshfood.com/thanksgiving/ to order your fresh Belwood turkey – we carry four size categories: 7-10lb, 11-14lb, 15-19lb, 20-24lb and do our best to get the size you want.
