There are over 240 farms on our Turkey Finder, which includes an interactive map to make it even easier for shoppers to locate their nearest producers.
The NFU’s #BuyMyTurkey campaign promote our 4 key messages:
- Use the NFU Turkey Finder to buy a local turkey directly from the farm gate.
- Ask your butcher if they are selling British turkeys.
- Look out for the Red Tractor logo if buying from a supermarket
- Buying a whole bird instead of a crown is better value for money.
