If you are feeding your family with healthier options, Meadow-raised turkey is a perfect choice. Here’s why.

1 Raised in a humane environment.

2 Rich in nutrients, minerals, and Omega-3 fats that support healthy brain and heart function and it’s also high in vitamin D3 and E.

3 It tastes better. Meadow-raised turkey fans state this is the best tasting and moistest bird they’ve ever eaten.

It’s Always Good To Be Prepared For Holidays, Right?

The best cooks in the kitchen will tell you that you should plan on 1 ½ pound of turkey per person. In other words, to feed 12 people, you'd need an 18-pound turkey (12 × 1 1/2 = 18).

Know Your Beef: Understanding the Difference Between Our Premium and Standard Offerings

If you've been following our journey, you know that transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do here at The Maker's Meadow. As more folks look closely at where their food comes from, I want to take a moment to explain the key differences between our Premium and Standard beef offerings. While both are far removed from conventional feedlot beef, they’re not the same—and that’s intentional. Here’s what you need to know: 🥩 Premium Beef Raised Right Here on Our Farm Our Premium beef is the gold standard—regeneratively raised by our own hands, with full control over every step of the process. These animals roam freely on diverse pasture, nurtured by nature. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs – No genetically modified feed or seed. 💉 Steroids & Hormones – Never used to enhance growth. 💊 Antibiotics – Absolutely none, ever. 💉 Vaccines – Not administered; we focus on natural immunity. ☠️ Chemicals – No synthetic dewormers, pesticides, or sprays once they arrive on our farm. However, they may be exposed to chemicals as calves prior to arriving. 🌍 Regenerative Practices – Always improving soil, water, and wildlife health. 🟢 Best for: Those seeking the cleanest, most natural beef available—with full transparency and minimal environmental impact. 🍔 Standard Beef Sourced from a Trusted Farming Partner Our Standard beef is still raised with integrity—on pasture, with humane care—from Marksbury Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, who shares our commitment to better meat. But since it’s not under our direct stewardship, there are a few important differences. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs 💉 Steroids & Hormones 💊 Antibiotics ⚠️ What We Can’t Guarantee: ☠️ Chemicals – Possible use of synthetic dewormers or pasture treatments. 💉 Vaccines – May be used as part of herd health protocols. 🟡 Best for: Customers looking for a high-quality, pasture-raised option at a more accessible price point, but who may not require the same level of purity as our Premium line. 🤝 Why Offer Both? Raising truly regenerative beef is deeply rewarding—but also labor-intensive and limited in scale. By offering both Premium and Standard options, we’re able to: Serve more families and communities Support other responsible farmers Stay true to our values of honesty and health Whether you choose Premium or Standard, you’re rejecting factory farming and supporting a future where soil, animals, and people thrive together. 💬 Have Questions? I’m always here to talk. When you know your farmer, you know your food—and I’m grateful to walk this path with you. 📧 Reach out anytime: support@makersmeadow.com Eat well and stay grounded.
