Manistee Turkey Ranch is a project of Joel Raddatz, Nanci and Josh Swenson. Joel's the actual instigator. Nanci and I offered the use of our land to Joel to raise turkeys, because Joel really likes birds. Subsequently we all couldn't escape the realization that we were partners in this together. And it's been a lot of fun. The birds are beautiful. They taste delicious. It's kind of an adventure!
Visitors are welcome-- it's probably wise to call ahead of time-- 231-723-4395.
We sell our birds mainly around the holidays. We will consider providing chicks too. We're going to focus mainly on the Red Bourbons, but will raise Great Whites if requested.
