About Plainville Farms
Plainville Farms® is the uncommon natural and certified organic turkey and deli brand that families, like ours, have trusted for generations. Raised by dedicated family farmers, our turkey products are known for their wholesome flavor and for the way they warm up a table. With roots dating back almost two hundred years, family farming has taught us to raise flocks ethically and transparently. Unlike many conventional farms, we never ever administer antibiotics. Instead, our practices promote health and well-being to prevent our flocks from getting sick. We only feed our flocks a high-quality, fortified diet of vegetarian grains in a stress-free environment in accordance with our highest standards. You can taste these differences in the products you enjoy all year round. Our products and recipes make it easy!
