Meaning all meat is sourced from a certified farm that provides either organic or free-range meat options. So why not try their Organic Diestel Turkey this festive season? This turkey has been grown in the clean Sierra Nevada Foothills with individual care and is completely free of growth stimulants and hormones. Although slightly pricier for an uncooked turkey, it’s a happier alternative for the animal and ourselves.
