Join us below for a tour of our ranch. Better yet, just come on out for a visit!

Plenty of sun and fresh air Our ranch is located approximately 2.5 hours east of San Francisco in Sonora in the picturesque Sierra Nevada Foothills. Here our turkeys enjoy fresh air, great weather and open space.


A healthy start At our ranch it all begins with the poults. Our state of the art brooder facilities provide our babies with the ideal environment, controlling warmth, food, water and lighting to nurture them until they are ready for the open range.

Room to roam the range Diestel turkeys enjoy the freedom to roam the clean Sierra Nevada Foothills. Providing individual care in a wholesome environment, our ranch has plenty of fresh air and clean mountain water.

Real flavor from real time Diestel turkeys are given extra time to grow and develop flavor naturally – an extra two months with no growth stimulants and absolutely no animal by-products.

Feed from our mill Diestel turkeys are fed a low fat vegetarian diet of corn and soybeans milled on our ranch and free of animal by-products, growth stimulants and hormones. By avoiding commercially pre-mixed feed we can specifically formulate the feed
to meet our birds' nutritional needs.

Quality processing Consumers and chefs are paying more attention to the farming and processing used in healthy foods. Our Diestel Family Turkey Ranch is one of the last small, family owned, fully integrated, premium quality turkey grower-processors in the
United States. Our smaller operation and strict controls guarantee that you will receive naturally delicious, top quality, turkey and turkey products with every purchase. Our USDA inspected processing facility to exceeds industry standards and is located right on our ranch.

sure that our products are delivered farm fresh direct from us to you!
