Diestel Family Turkey Ranch

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 andsamegreat quality.

Most importantly, we guarantee each Diestel turkey to beraised, processed and delivered by us directly to you.
After all, this is our family tradition since 1949.

We invite you to taste the difference!

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"?
