If you're like most of our customers, you're more thoughtful than the average bear about what your family eats. 

You've read books...you've seen documentaries...you know why to pick a pastured turkey for your holiday meal.

So, we thought we'd slide out of the way and let you do the talking in this Thanksgiving Top 5!

...according to our customers


#5 Animal Welfare

Our customers say...

🦃 "I like animals being treated well."

🦃 "It's a blessing to know our food is in good hands from start to finish."

🦃 "We came to you because we learned about commercially operated factory farms and the way animals suffer."

🦃 "We are forever thankful for the way you treat the earth and the animals."

🦃 "We believe animals need to be pasture-raised and humanely treated and slaughtered."

🦃 "I was a vegetarian for 6 years for the reason of not liking how meat was mass produced. The only reason I started eating meat again was because of more humane and sustainable options like yours."

🦃 "Ethically, I disagree with factory farming and I wish we could transition our meat system away from it."


#4 Healthier Meat

Our customers say...

🩺 "I loved that I could make broth afterwards with clean grass-fed bones."

🩺 "We buy from you because grocery store meats just aren't acceptable to us. Too many pesticides/herbicides that we try to avoid."  

🩺 "If health is what we want, it only makes sense to eat meat from the very healthiest of animals. That is what you provide."

🩺 "I learned about the better nutrient profiles of grassfed meats and made the switch."

🩺 "Nourishing my body in better ways is a value I hold."

🩺 "I just prefer to have food that is free of additives, and from animals without hormones in their food."

🩺 "We always try to buy the most natural, non-GMO, grass-fed, pasture-raised meats we can find."

🩺 "The COVID-19 pandemic made me realize how special health is and how important what goes in our bodies is."


#3 Top Quality

Our customers say...

✔️"There was A LOT of meat on this turkey. My parents typically purchase at a grocery store - those turkeys don’t have nearly as much meat."

✔️"Way better texture than a Butterball."

✔️"Fed us for multiple meals over multiple days, and kept it's flavor. Store bought would lose flavor by day 2."

✔️"Omg, it was worth the money."

✔️"5 stars."

✔️"Best bird I ever roasted."

✔️"More like meat from 30-40 years ago instead of the tasteless meat in the grocery stores now."

✔️"Top quality."

✔️"No other meat compares."

✔️"Hands down the best turkey our family has ever had."

#1 Farmers You Trust

Our customers say...

💗"We consider Jordan & Laura 'our farmers'."

💗"We stay with you because you are the tried-and-true farm we have grown to love and trust."

💗"When I was a teen my parents were transitioning to getting meats and eggs from the J&L Green Farm. When I finally moved to Winchester, J&L Green Farm was the only place I wanted to get my meats because I knew and trusted Jordan and Laura."
