We have been making quality a tradition since 1949. We take the time necessary to produce the best there is and we are proud of that.

We insist on providing our birds with the very best environment which allows the to grow naturally. Diestel turkeys enjoy the freedom of being raised on range in the clean Sierra Nevada foothills. From our feed mill, our turkeys are fed only the finest grains free of animal by products. This natural growing environment results in premium, tender, juicy birds with a superior meat yield – without the need for hormones or growth stimulants.

We feel that quality cannot be left to chance. We are one of the last small, family owned, fully integrated, premium quality turkey grower-processors in the United States. And we maintain control of every aspect of our operation from our feed mill to growing through processing and distribution.

So there lies the difference... you can be sure that our products are delivered farm fresh direct from us to you!

We offer a full line of natural and organic turkey and turkey products made exclusively from our Diestel Family of Turkeys and easily found in your fine grocer's meat, deli, cheese and prepared foods departments.

Since we grow our birds longer – they develop into broad breasted birds with superior yield (i.e. lots of white meat) and superb flavor. Due to this extra growing time the following weights are available for our hens and toms. We are so proud of their size that we label them on the bag as "Hen" or "Tom." This is your assurance of our commitment to quality.

The Original Diestel Hen ranges 10 to 24+ lbs.
The Original Diestel Tom ranges 24 to 36+ lbs.
