I always knew I was going to raise turkeys for our hobby farm. But what kind!? This was pondered on for a few years! Then as I was doing my research and reading about all the different kinds, I saw a photo of probably the most beautiful turkey I had ever seen! They called it "Sweetgrass" originating from a farm in the US MT. Well now! They were just what I was looking for! Beauty, size, temperament, and a rare heritage breed. Perfect! Finding some was not as easy as I had thought... I first tried my hand at hatching some shipped eggs from out of province. Out of 7 eggs, 2 hatched. And then one of our wonderful barn cats got into the brooder that very night I put them in, and ate them :( Thanks kitty....  So, after some more searching (and money of course) I found some Poults! We were able to acquire 7 new poults! YAY! So the summer of 2022 was a success! 2 big gorgeous gentle toms and 5 sweet hens to start our flock!

Here's to offering eggs/poults for the 2024 year and making others dreams come true just as those who helped me make mine come true!
