12/21/23 - From 4-H Project To Successful Turkey Farm
Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com introduces us to Ronny Lee a 6th gernation Farmer who runs Lee Turkey Farm. www.leeturkeyfarm.com The farm was first purchased by Ronny’s great-great-great-grandfather, Clement Updike, in 1868. At peak, the farm-raised 7000 turkeys, which were sold typically live to various places, including a Kosher plant in Lakewood. When the Federal government became more strict in their regulations for processing, some of the clients could no longer stay in business, so they began processing turkeys themselves and built retail routes to supply turkeys to local “Mom and Pop” stores and butcher shops. Lee Turkey Farm no longer sells to any markets; today, they only sell directly to their customers.
