KNIGHTS BUTCHERS ARE SELLING THE PRESTIGIOUS

GROVE SMITH TURKEYS

This is a farming family business that has been trading for over 30 years. Over that time they have built up a reputation for high quality turkeys backed up by good service and reliability.

Quality is the most important criteria of the business. This is achieved by growing birds on their own farms with low stocking densities, plenty of sunlight and attention to welfare issues.

The main issue that differentiates Grove Smith Turkeys from the competition is that they control all factors of production from the ‘plough to plate’. This is achieved by producing high quality grain and oats from their arable farm, which are milled into feed for their own turkeys. This precise control of inputs ensures that quality is never compromised, the birds are farmed for flavour and there is total traceability thoughout production.
