Copas Turkeys
Care & attention to all our feathered Residents!
We only opt for traditional turkey breeds from specialist British hatcheries, as these grow at a natural pace & allow us to maintain a natural, compatible diversity within our flocks.
Our turkeys enjoy an oat-rich, nutritionally-balanced, natural cereal diet that’s ethically sourced & completely free of growth promoters or other nasties. Our experienced husbandry team is led by Olly who has worked with Copas Turkeys for several years.
Our Free Range Bronze & Free Range Organic Turkeys
During the day, our Free Range Bronze & Free Range Organic turkeys are truly free-range, which means they stroll around our cherry orchards & grass meadows taking in the fresh air as soon as they’re old enough (usually six weeks old) & not just for a few weeks towards the end of their lives. Due to their long (& happy!) lives, Copas Turkeys are wandering around outside well before most cheaper alternatives have even hatched!
Our Turkey Journey
Too many turkey’s destinies are determined on when they reach the popular weight categories, rather than age. Although the industry standard is around 2 months old, we’re very aware that every meat has a prime eating time, therefore our turkeys are between 5-7 months old when their countryside rambles finally draw to a close.The benefit of a fuller life is their dense meat & superior fat cover. This natural fat layer not only makes traditional dry plucking possible, but it means Copas Turkeys don’t need to be basted, buttered or covered with bacon to retain their succulence.
25 Different Turkey Breeds
We will have over 25 different breeds on our farm this year to provide beautifully finished adult birds in all weight categories. The majority of these will be hens, (not guaranteed for 9kg+ weight categories) because of their superior shape & meat to weight ratio.
Dry plucking by hand is slow & labour intensive. However, because the turkey is kept dry, we are able to hang them for an extended period, like any other game bird. Hanging is one of the main reasons why our turkeys taste so great.Being Game-hung for 2 weeks is integral to their unrivalled eating quality, providing both a truly tender eating experience & an altogether superior depth of flavour.

“Providing the turkey is my contribution to Christmas. Copas make sure that it is a delight to all the family. The turkey is of course delicious but it’s the attention to detail that really makes them stand out. My parents took as much pleasure in unwrapping the turkey as they did any of their presents. Copas captures Christmas perfectly.” Ceri Mitchell
