You won’t find a better looking—or tasting—family
Our big, bold, mouthwatering birds range from 6-30 pounds, every one of them packed with flavor. What’s more, they’re available in organic, all-natural, heirloom, and regeneratively-raised varieties as well. Each breed has its own unique qualities, but they’re all raised according to our strict standards. They’re raised in a wholesome, nourishing environment with access to fresh water and clean air rolling off the Sierra Nevada Foothills. They’re fed an all-vegetarian feed blend without fillers, growth stimulants, or antibiotics, ever. And they’re raised damn tasty.
VARIETY
NON-GMO REGENERATIVELY RAISED
When we say, “If there’s a right choice, we’ll make it,” we mean it.
If you want a turkey that helps to fight climate change, our newest and most impactful Regeneratively Raised Whole Turkey is the one you’ve been waiting for. Part of a holistic regenerative program, these birds graze on rotational plots of land that are treated to regular applications of our nutrient-dense compost and allowed rest periods of 2-8 months. We measure the regeneration of this soil to ensure the work we are doing is healing the soil, allowing it to trap carbon in the ground while removing it from the atmosphere, as well as hold more water and reduce erosion.
Just as important, these birds have a tender, juicy, full-bodied flavor that will impress the most discerning foodie.

VARIETY
ORGANIC AMERICAN HEIRLOOM
Most turkeys today are a shadow of the breed that once was.
Our Organic American Heirloom Turkeys are the breed that once was, dating back to the nineteenth century.
Our Organic American Heirloom Collection comprises Auburn, Black, and American Bronze turkeys, rare older breeds that are hardy and well-adapted to the foothills of Sonora, where Diestel Family Ranch is located. These birds produce exquisite meat with exceptional, rich flavor that’s tender, juicy, and exceptionally hard to come by.

ORIGINAL
The bird. The myth. The legend. It all began with the Original Diestel turkey.
These all-natural, slow-grown birds are given the time and space they need to develop naturally to produce the tender, juicy, bold flavor you’d expect of a Diestel bird. It’s also available in a Non-GMO Project Verified variety for anyone who wants to take their turkey game to the next level, as well as an Organic for those looking for a feast for their stomach and their conscience.
