A Tradition of Excellence Since 1957
The Copas family has been farming in Cookham, Berkshire, since 1901, but the story of Copas Turkeys began in 1957 when a teenage Tom Copas Sr. was gifted 153 turkey poults. What started as a small seasonal venture soon became the heart of the family farm, and over the decades Copas Turkeys has grown into one of the most respected names in high-welfare, slow-grown birds in the country.
Today, the same passion and dedication guide everything we do, ensuring that each turkey we raise is worthy of its place at the centre of your table.
Only The Good Life For Copas Turkeys
We believe that great flavour begins with a good life. That’s why our turkeys are reared slowly and naturally on open pastures, where they have the freedom to roam and thrive.
Every bird is cared for to the highest welfare standards, reflecting our commitment to farming that respects both the animal and the land. By keeping our flocks small and our methods traditional, we ensure that each turkey develops the rich depth of flavour that Copas has become known for.
Hand-Plucked and Dry Aged Turkey
Our turkeys are not only raised differently but also prepared differently. Once grown, they are hand-plucked and then dry-aged in the traditional way, allowing the flavour to mature and the meat to tenderise naturally.
This attention to detail sets Copas Turkeys apart and is the reason so many families return to us year after year. The result is a bird that is succulent, flavourful, and a true celebration of festive dining.
Copas Turkeys : The Gold Standard of Festive Dining!
For over six decades, Copas Turkeys have set the benchmark for what a truly special bird should be. Raised slowly and naturally on open pastures in Cookham, our turkeys enjoy the highest welfare standards, the freedom to roam, and the care of a family farm that has been dedicated to quality since 1957. We believe that exceptional flavour comes from animals that live well, and that philosophy is at the very heart of every Copas turkey.
Each bird is hand-plucked and traditionally dry-aged, a process that allows the meat to mature, tenderise, and develop its celebrated depth of flavour. Whether you choose a whole bird, a crown, or a rolled breast roast, you can be confident that your turkey has been prepared with the same attention to detail that has made Copas a trusted name for generations.
That is why families across the country choose Copas Turkeys for their Christmas centrepiece year after year. It is food raised with respect, enjoyed with pride, and remembered long after the meal is over — the very definition of festive dining at its best.
