HERITAGE BLACK TURKEY
*Limited Availability*
Raised For Culinary Excellence
Our Heritage Black Turkey is a heritage breed, admitted to APA standard in 1874. It is one of the first to be developed from Native American stocks. In fact, it is believed to be the same breed the Pilgrims feasted on during their first Thanksgiving. This breed is well-suited for foraging, and we raise these special birds on a small family farm in North Carolina. They are processed by hand in our own plant, and like all of our Heritage birds, they are air chilled to preserve flavor, tenderness, and perfect texture.
- Raised Free-Range, with access to barn or pasture
- Humane growing and processing practices
- Traceable to small family farms in North Carolina
The Best Lineage
Slow-growing breeds tend to be heartier and more disease resistant for free range life than commercial breeds.
Access to the Outside
Birds have access to outdoor pasture after about
10 weeks of age.
Smaller Flock In Every House
A maximum density requirement ensures birds are allowed plenty of space to roam freely in the houses.
Nearby Farms
To make sure birds are handled humanely and not dehydrated, they must travel no more than 64 miles to the processing plant.
Small Houses On Small Farms
Smaller poultry houses are required than in industrial farms, and houses per farm are limited to four.
Slower Growing
After 20 weeks, birds are approximately half the size of commercial birds at the same age.
The Cleanest Conditions
An extended sanitation period between flocks ensures houses are always clean and healthy environments for the birds.
Air Chilled
Birds are processed individually by hand and air chilled. They are never submerged in chlorinated water.

COMPART DUROC
SMOKED HAMS
Taste The Difference
It all starts with the right breed. The Black Angus breed of cattle is well known for its superior quality. This same phenomenon is also true of the Duroc breed for pork. The Compart Family have implemented Real Time Ultra Sound and have actually traced the pedigrees for over 55 Years and carefully selected the Very Best Compart Duroc Lines to for Marbling and Meat Quality. We are “The Black Angus of Pork!”™
Why Compart Duroc is Better
All natural, mouthwatering, rich flavored pork, with superior tenderness and natural juiciness, that’s the “Compart Duroc”™ promise to you. It’s a difference you can see and taste! Our pork is bright reddish pink in color and contains a higher percentage of marbling (intramuscular fat) and a higher pH. We provide fresh pork in its natural flavor and juice, without injecting or pumping. This a tender, juicy and flavorful dining experience.
Redder is Better™
The most desirable color to look for when purchasing pork is dark pink to dark reddish pink. Although pork is known as “the other white meat,” because all pork turns white after being cooked, it is the darker, reddish raw pork that will give you a juicy, tender final product to serve.
