Brooded indoors as small peeps, these turkeys have been raised outdoors since they were 3 weeks old. They are given permanent access to fresh pasture, and supplemented with a non-GMO ration of corn, soy and oats with an organic mineral. Typically, we'll fulfill your turkey in the size range selected, unless we're out of birds in that size, then we'll contact you before fulfilling and charging the next size up or down.

14 lb turkeys weigh 12.0-13.99lbs, 16lb birds are 14.0-15.99, 18 lb birds are 16.0-17.99 lbs, etc.
North Mountain Pastures is a small family farm dedicated to producing great food using ecologically sound production practices. We farm on 84 acres in Perry County, Pennsylvania, in a way that heals the land, nourishes people, and treats animals with respect. This means animals are naturally raised outdoors, on grass or in carefully managed woodlots, and fed only non-GMO grain. We don’t use hormones, antibiotics, or other chemicals to medicate livestock.
Worried you don't know how to cook? Here's the thing, the quality of your ingredients is sort of like a cheat code for cooking. Your dish is only as good as your weakest ingredient. Grab some fresh produce, a good NMP sausage, and some potatoes, rice or polenta...you got a meal!
For the 2020 Thanksgiving Day Dinner,I was blessed to have a North Mountain turkey delivered to my door, 2400 miles from Perry county.The bird arrived still frozen and perfectly packaged. I chose to fry the bird in an outdoor fryer kettle(beer keg). It was dry rubbed and injected and fully cooked in 51 minutes. The result was a beautiful, moist, tasty turkey. I anxiously await the next holiday shipment. I can’t recommend enough to any cook seeking a quality poultry product. Thanks NMP.
Thank you for the turkey and the instructions! It was the first time that my family made turkey without my husband’s mom doing it or supervising it (we are following CDC advice and not gathering). The turkey turned out great!
