Welcome to Kirk's Turkeys, a family-run farm in Barkby, Leicestershire, specialising in high-quality Christmas turkeys and cockerels.
Our farm-reared Free Range and Traditional Bronze and White Turkeys are available as whole birds or the popular Turkey Crowns. Unlike fast-growing commercial birds, our turkeys are reared for a minimum of 22 weeks, giving them ample time to mature naturally and develop their exceptional flavour and texture. This is almost twice the age of many commercially produced turkeys. We offer a wide range of sizes, from 4.5kg (10lb) to 13.6kg (30lb), ensuring there is a bird suitable for every family gathering, from intimate celebrations to large festive feasts.
For those looking for an alternative to turkey, our farm-reared Free Range and Traditional Cockerels make an excellent choice. Larger than standard chickens and given longer to mature, they produce succulent, flavourful meat that is perfect for feeding family and guests over the festive period. Our cockerels are available in sizes ranging from 3.6kg (8lb) to 6.3kg (14lb).
As a traditional mixed family farm, we have a strong belief in supporting British agriculture and producing food to the highest standards. We believe British produce is among the finest in the world, and by choosing to buy British and shop locally, you help preserve the rich heritage of our countryside and support rural communities.
When you purchase a turkey or cockerel from Kirk's Turkeys, you are not only choosing a delicious centrepiece for your Christmas table, but also supporting a local family business that is committed to high animal welfare standards, sustainable farming practices and quality food production.
Many of our customers return year after year, with some families having bought their Christmas bird from us for generations. Their loyalty is something we never take for granted and is a reflection of the care, quality and service we strive to provide every year.
Whether you're planning your first Christmas dinner or continuing a cherished family tradition, you can be assured that when you order directly from Kirk's Turkeys, you will receive a fresh, local, farm-reared bird that has been raised with care from start to finish.
