Our family began range growing turkeys in 1949 on our ranch nestled in the Sierra Foothills. At Thanksgiving we sold our turkeys to the local folks who enjoyed a trip to our ranch each year.

Today we produce our turkeys and turkey products year around but, really, not much has changed... same ranch, same firm belief that our family secrets consistently produce a better tender and juicy turkey that has real old-fashioned turkey flavor and same great quality.

Most importantly, we guarantee each Diestel turkey to be raised, processed anddelivered by us directlyto you. After all, this is our family tradition since 1949.

We invite you to taste the difference!

The Diestel Family commitment to quality

Since 1949 our family has been committed to producing quality naturally. We strive to provide you with the finest quality, naturally produced turkey and turkey products.

In keeping with our family tradition of excellence we have created Heidi’s Hens® Certified Organic Range Grown Turkeys and Turkey Products. Heidi’s Hens® are the cleanest, purest turkeys available and taste just like turkey should – tender and juicy with that real old-fashioned turkey flavor.

By sustainably farming our ranch we help provide the best outcome for both our human and natural environments... now and into the indefinite future.

We want nature to work with us, not against us, and vice-versa, so we ask ourselves, "How do we create a system that allows nature to dictate the best path"?
