NEW LOCAL OFFERING OF NATURALLY REARED TURKEYS

The Michie family have been farming at Lochend of Barra, Oldmeldrum, for around 80 years. We have an arable farm and we are also producing free range turkeys.

At Lochend of Barra we have specially selected to grow the Wirral and Hockenhull Black as these breeds love to forage naturally and when hung provide a richer flavour than other breeds. Our Turkeys are grown slowly to full maturity and enjoy roaming our fertile land where they eat natural vegetation, grass, along with a cereal based diet. We do not use hormones or other artificial growth promoters.

We take the extra effort to hand pluck each of our turkeys. This is essential to improving the flavour and texture of the meat and ensures that the most special meal of the year is a memorable one.

Price List:

Category Weight Range Price Per Kilo
Small 4.9-5.9 kgs 8.70
Medium 6-7 kgs 8.60
Large 7.1-9 kgs 8.50

All of our turkeys are oven ready, individually boxed and will come with cooking instructions.

Mad Hatter’s Tea Party in Tarves

Mad Hatter theme for the first Friday Community Cafe

A 3rd birthday party for Tarves’ Community Cafe was given a Mad Hatter theme this week.  The volunteer helpers were dressed in ‘appropriate’ attire including top hats, bunny ears, birthday cake hats (Yes ..it’s Edith) and giant clown kipper ties. The cafe raises funds for the Kirk and is a popular regular meeting point on the first Friday of each month for local folk.  Congratulations on the 3 years and hope for many more fun filled occasions.
