When you order a Temple Farm turkey for your Christmas
Dinner, you can be sure of the tastiest possible meal,
because we follow the Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association
Quality Assurance Code.
This code guarantees that our turkeys are:
- Reared and produced with the greatest care by independent
farmers dedicated to the production of the finest truly
Traditional Farm Fresh Turkeys, who are committed to
this code.
- Grown slowly to full maturity and prime condition.
- Fattened on rations containing at least 70% cereals
with no animal protein and never given antibiotics or
other additives for growth promotion.
- Housed in buildings giving both natural light and
ventilation while providing essential weather protection,
with space at or better than the Animal Welfare Code
recommendations.
- Always handled with extreme care by experienced staff
under the personal supervision of the farmer.
- Regularly bedded with comfortable straw or soft wood
shavings.
- Grown on farms with all flocks independently inspected
to ensure that the Code is met in full.
- Slaughtered on the farm to avoid stress from long
distance transportation.
- Always dry plucked and hung for a minimum of seven
days to mature and develop the natural flavours unique
to this traditional type of production.
- The processing facilities are independently inspected
to ensure that all legislation is fully complied with.
- Each turkey is individually inspected and examined
before qualifying for the Golden Promise guarantee to
be affixed.
- Each bird is supplied with a money-back commitment
in the unlikely event of consumer dissatisfaction. This
commitment is guaranteed by the TFTA
This
code of practice and quality guarantee applies only
to Golden Promise turkeys produced by members of the
Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association.
Our Free Range Golden Promise Turkeys have, from the age
of eight weeks, daytime access to natural vegetation
in spacious open-air runs. |
