Michigan turkeys are raised by farmers throughout the state whose heritage and passion is centered around creating a safe and quality source of protein for consumers and businesses in the foodservice market. Most turkeys are processed in Grand Rapids at a farmer-owned cooperative, Michigan Turkey Producers. All farms supplying Michigan Turkey Producers are an average of 30 miles from the processing plant, which leads to a significant reduction in their carbon footprint from other states. Michigan turkey farmers are committed to the health and well-being of their birds so consumers can eat a delicious, nutritious and safe food.
