Keep your oven-ready turkey in its original box in the refrigerator immediately after collection. The greaseproof paper wrapping maintains freshness until you're ready to cook.

We provide collection slots at Bower Farm, with alternative arrangements available upon request. Our turkeys are also available through local farm shops and butchers nationwide.
What cooking support do you provide?
Every turkey includes recipe leaflets, pop-up timers, and vacuum-packed giblets for gravy. We also provide detailed cooking instructions online for whole turkeys, crowns, and breasts.
Are your turkeys suitable for special dietary requirements?
