Farm Details: In 2008, the Avibross farm took a natural turn and moved away from conventional farming techniques. To this day, this family business is a 100% natural turkey producer. She is convinced that animal welfare plays a vital role in our food chain and that is why their turkeys are free range, vegetable grain fed and raised without added hormones or antibiotics. This farm implements stress-free breeding and handling methods for poultry in order to offer healthy and quality products. In addition, all of their 100% natural turkey products are made entirely in Quebec.
