Hi everyone. I have some heritage turkeys and some bread breasted turkeys. We raise them all free range together on an organic diet. I live in a small rural area in Northern New England that is well below the national average median income. I've had several people ask me to let them know when they are ready and they'd love to get one for Thanksgiving. I'm really not sure to know what to charge folks. I hear what some people are getting and even though I personally would pay that, I think alot of folks around here would drop their jaw and just go to our spanking new walmart and get a butterball.
I was looking for opinions on what would be an appropriate price per pound to ask or overall price for the weight range. I know I've gotten processed turkeys turkeys from farmers before I started raising them myself where the price per pound changes for the larger birds and they have a cur off where no bird is over $100 no matter weight. I'd love to hear what you all think. My coats are fairly low besides the organic feed. I do my own processing and the heritage birds I hatched out from incubation. Ive been raising them for a few years but always just bartered them or gifted them to family & friends. Thanks in advance.
