The Red Bronze Heritage Turkey is one of the most vibrant and classic breeds found on American farms. With deep reddish-bronze feathers that shimmer in sunlight and darker bronze edging along the wings and tail, this bird is both eye-catching and historically significant.
At Little Yardley Farm, our Red Bronze Heritage Turkeys are raised on open pasture, given plenty of space to roam, forage, and grow naturally. These birds are hardy, adaptable, and make excellent additions to sustainable flocks focused on heritage preservation and natural farming practices.
The Red Bronze Turkey is a variation of the classic Bronze line, developed for its rich coloring and strong body structure. Historically prized for its flavorful meat, it remains a favorite among small farmers and heritage enthusiasts. Mature toms reach 22–28 pounds, and hens 14–18 pounds, offering a manageable size for family farms.
They’re known for their calm disposition and strong foraging ability. These birds thrive outdoors, preferring to graze on grass, seeds, and insects. Their alert yet gentle nature makes them easy to care for and a pleasure to keep.
The Red Bronze Heritage Turkey is renowned for its rich, savory flavor and tender meat texture. Unlike commercial turkeys, this breed matures at a natural pace, developing balanced muscle and fat that produce juicy, flavorful results for holiday or homestead tables.
Our turkeys are raised humanely with access to sunshine, clean water, and nutrient-rich pasture. We never use routine antibiotics or growth hormones. Every bird is part of our mission to maintain true heritage lines while offering families an opportunity to enjoy real farm-raised quality.
We take pride in supporting heritage conservation, ensuring breeds like the Red Bronze Turkey continue to thrive for future generations.
Farm Pickup, Scheduling & Local Delivery Option
All live turkey purchases from Little Yardley Farm are available for local pickup only at our farm in Rutledge, Tennessee, unless other arrangements have been made. Once your order is placed, you’ll receive an email with pickup details, directions, and times. We typically schedule pickups on Fridays and Saturdays between 9 AM and 2 PM, but we’re happy to arrange an alternative time if needed — just contact us before your visit.
To protect the health and well-being of our birds, we do not ship live turkeys. However, we understand that travel isn’t always easy for everyone. For an additional fee, we’re willing to meet at an agreed location after an online purchase has been completed. This convenience fee is based on mileage from our farm to the meeting point and calculated according to the current federal per-mile travel reimbursement rate published by the IRS.
Customers need to bring a secure carrier or crate that is the proper size for safe transport home. For questions about care, feeding, or available breeds, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to help make your experience with Little Yardley Farm as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Delivery Fee Policy
At Little Yardley Farm, we understand that not all customers can make the trip to our farm in Rutledge, Tennessee. While we do not offer shipping for live animals, we’re happy to meet customers at a mutually agreed-upon location after an online purchase has been completed.
Delivery or meeting fees are determined by the distance from our farm and are calculated using the current IRS standard mileage rate, a nationally recognized measure for fuel and travel expenses. (For 2025, this rate is $0.67 per mile, round trip.)
Because travel times and fuel costs vary, we’ll provide an exact total before confirming your delivery arrangement. This fee must be paid prior to the meetup. At the time of pickup or delivery, customers are required to bring their own secure carrier or crate to safely transport their live animal home.
Our goal is to make pickup and delivery as simple, safe, and transparent as possible while maintaining the health and well-being of our animals.
