For the past 11 years, Heritage Foods USA has been selling Heritage Turkeys from farmer Frank Reese’s Good Shepherd Ranch.
Unlike your typical store-bought birds, which are bred for their abundance of white breast meat rather than taste, these turkeys offer more flavorful dark meat. And just as important, they are traditional breeds of turkeys that have become endangered. Raising and buying these breeds are the only ways to save them from extinction.

If purchased from the Heritage Foods USA website, Heritage Turkeys start at $85 plus $45 for shipping. But since Rancho Pinot chef and owner Chrysa Robertson orders them in bulk and has them shipped to the restaurant, she can sell them to the public at a much lower cost.
