In the early 1900’s,
a few Michigan farmers and their families began raising
turkeys. They found that the temperate climate and rich
land of Allegan, Ottawa, Kent and Barry counties produced
a bigger and healthier bird.
As word of these great turkeys spread,
more families started raising turkeys on their Michigan
farms.
Today, these family farms are still
in operation. They have been handed down from generation
to generation, and they are continuing to produce better
turkeys.
Now, 16 of these farmers have joined
together to form Michigan Turkey Producers. We are committed
to quality and value from our farms to your table.
So we have set up a second new processing
plant to prepare the birds and premium meats for market.
This state-of-the-art facility, the most modern turkey
processing plant in the nation, enables us to produce
value-added, top-quality, fully cooked products.
