The spring season often comes with new beginnings, fresh starts, and for our 62 registered turkey farmers… new poults! It’s a really exciting time of year with warm sunshine, fresh buds, and the sound of a full barn of birds.
Join us on our next journey over April, May, and June at British Columbia Turkey as we focus on setting A Conscious Table: a place for loved ones to gather and enjoy delicious springtime turkey meals and snacks that come from a sustainable farming industry. Now more than ever, we want to support our farmers and BC’s agricultural future by prioritizing local products.
A big part of setting #AConsciousTable means using fresh, locally sourced ingredients like ethically-raised turkeys. With everything going on in the world, let’s fuel our bodies with turkey snacks, breakfasts, lunches, and dinners farmed right here in our province.
April is All About Sustainability & Community Engagement
With April’s arrival, join us in celebrating sustainable farming and community engagement by learning about your local farmers! Follow along as we launch our Farmer Spotlight Series and dive into how turkeys are raised in British Columbia, environmentally-friendly farming practices, and the people who provide safe turkey products for our tables.
All of our farmers work hard to produce safe, healthy birds for your tables by following strict protocols and the national Flock Care Program. So when you purchase a BC turkey, you can trust in its quality.
And with the Easter holiday weeks away, now’s the time to pick up a bird!
Go Local This Easter
Easter is the perfect time to gather together with family, friends, and loved ones over a delicious turkey meal, and this holiday, we encourage you to make it a conscious one with locally-sourced BC ingredients!
Thankfully, turkey is an ideal meal choice for Easter because of its macro- and micro-nutrients. Each bite is loaded with healthy, lean protein and plenty of essential vitamins like iron, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Setting #AConsciousTable this holiday season means going local first, but also choosing healthy, delicious turkey for your loved ones.
And we get it! Times are tough right now, so it’s hard to justify buying an entire bird these days. That’s why we’ve sourced a handful of recipes you can try on a budget, or creative ways to stretch out your meal with tasty, crowd-pleasing leftovers. Stay tuned for our next blog on ways to repurpose your Easter turkey across many different meals!

Celebrate Sustainable Farming this Earth Day
With Earth Day just around the corner, now is the perfect time to invest in the environment by choosing local turkey products. Not sure how to do this? It’s easy! Next time you’re at the grocery store, look out for logos that come from BC suppliers—it cuts out those long-distance supply lines and invests right back in your own neighbourhoods.
We are so thankful for all the farmers across our province, working hard to provide safe, healthy, and sustainable products for our tables.
