Caveny Farm
Not too long ago almost everyone knew a farmer or some one who knew one. There was a good chance that farmer was a relative.
In those days, most farms were "diversified" meaning the farm family raised more than one or two products for sale. In addition to the main farm activity such as dairy, the farm produced products such as eggs, pork, beef and perhaps fruits and vegetables. The farm family used these products themselves and sold surplus to friends, relatives and neighbors.
There are not many of these farms left today. But new types of diversified family farms are sprouting. Many of these farms raise wholesome products for direct sale to non-farm families who value locally grown fruits, vegetables, milk, meat and eggs.
Caveny Farm raises poultry and lamb. Heritage breeds of turkeys, ducks and geese are our mainstay. Our birds are raised in pastures that grow grasses, clovers and amaranth. All of our poultry are fed custom formulated feed to compliment the nutrients found in our pastures. Corn, soybeans and soybean meal along with vitamins and minerals are the only ingredients in our feed.
We are proud to be part of the Slow Food movement which believes pleasure and quality in everyday life can be achieved by slowing down and celebrating the diversity of the earth's bounty. Know where your food comes from. Know your farmer! We are grateful to our customers for making our family Heritage Poultry enterprise successful.

How big a bird should you buy?
We suggest 1 pound of uncooked turkey per adult - 1 1/2 pounds per person if you want leftovers or are feeding teenagers. Consider buying two or more smaller birds instead of one large bird. This can cut down the cooking time as well as provide more drumsticks!
