Diestel Turkey Ranch began range growing turkeys in 1949 on their ranch nestled in the Sierra Foothills. At Thanksgiving they sold their turkeys to the local folks who enjoyed a trip to the ranch each year. Today they produce their turkeys and turkey products year around but, really, not much has changed... same ranch, same firm belief that their family secrets consistently produce a better tender and juicy turkey that has real old-fashioned turkey flavor and same great quality.
Fulton Valley Farms is comprised of members who have been in the poultry business since 1925. Back when there were small poultry plants located in almost every town, our founders each owned and operated their own facilities. As the San Francisco Bay Area became increasingly urban and the towns became more populated it became difficult to maintain so many small plants. The founders got together and bought the buildings and properties to put together what is now Fulton Processors, in the heart of the Wine Country, Sonoma County California.

farming practices distinguish these chickens from those conventionally

Norbest, Inc., headquartered in Midvale, Utah, is a federated
marketing cooperative dealing exclusively with turkeys and
value-added turkey products. It is the oldest cooperative
organization of its type in the world, and is one of the top
turkey marketing firms in the United States. The objectives
of the new association were to "produce and pack a higher
grade of birds, to establish a known quality...to eliminate
as much speculation as possible...and pack a product, using
federal grades, of uniform standard quality that will command
both respect and the confidence of buyers." The Northwestern
Turkey Growers Association was among the first to adopt federal
grading standards. Throughout its second year of operation,
Northwestern received a "Number One" grade, which proved to
be a significant marketing advantage. Ever since, the co-op
has adhered to the highest government and industry standards
of quality. Today all Norbest branded whole birds are USDA
Grade A -- the highest grade possible. "The purpose of Norbest,
Inc. is to deliver maximum long-term return to our producer
members by strategically marketing high-quality turkey products
worldwide. This requires total commitment to provide both our
trade customers and our ultimate consumers consistently high-quality
product and service."
