Meet the families behind Diestel Family Turkey Ranch and Ferndale Market.
These two multi-generational producers are proving that turkey can—and should—be raised with deep care, total transparency, and long-term stewardship.
Diestel Family Ranch (Sonora, CA): Four generations of working with the land, leading the charge as the first-ever Regenified Certified turkey producer.
Ferndale Market (Cannon Falls, MN): Rooted in tradition, championing slow-grown birds, strict animal welfare, and independent family farming.
Together, they represent a more thoughtful approach to turkey production:
-Outdoor access with room to roam
-Rotational grazing and pasture-based practices
-No antibiotics or hormones, evers-Vegetarian feed
-Strong animal welfare standards
-Farming systems designed to support healthier soil and ecosystems
The result is turkey with better flavor, stronger nutrient density, and a supply chain built around quality from the ground up.
This is what it looks like when the whole system is considered. 🦃
