Crozier's free-range turkeys of Ashburton, Canterbury, have been a trusted turkey supplier for over fifty years. In 2015 the Smith family took over the business and farm and are continuing this premium tradition.
Raised on the sunny Canterbury Plains Crozier's Turkeys are the only truly free-range turkey farm in New Zealand. Their birds are hand reared, non-intensively farmed, and each flock has a three-acre paddock to roam freely. Even their breeder birds are free-range, unique among commercial poultry farms in New Zealand.
To achieve the best quality control, Crozier's Turkeys manage each process by hand. They hatch, breed and raise all their birds on their farm, and process them through their own small MPI approved processing plant.
To ensure the best tasting free-range turkeys for the hospitality market and consumers, Crozier's hand mix their feed on site. All the grain is sourced from local farms and vitamins are supplied by an animal nutritional specialist; this specialist also formulates the diets. Crozier's have chosen to replace antibiotics, commonly used in poultry for gut health, with pro-biotics and blended essential oils, and of course, no hormones are used.
Crozier's turkeys only use organic methods for the processing of their birds. Unlike most other poultry processors, chlorine washes are never used. Crozier's use organic washing methods because chlorine discolours the skin and leaves behind unpleasant by-products.
Crozier's free-range turkeys have a range of premium foodservice products available all year round. Whole birds are available from 3 kilos up to 15 kilos, boneless rolled roasts and breast are always in demand, and contain only one hundred percent turkey meat with no additives or stuffing. All Crozier’s products are gluten-free. Drums, drumettes and mince can be made to order.
