We always love family gatherings at Easter & we are particularly looking forward to it this year & it will mark the end of what has felt like a very long winter! The daffodils and camellias have just started to bloom so spring must be just around the corner! The longer days certainly give a much more relaxed feeling to the impending arrival of the family...

Following the huge success of the Simplest Turkey at Christmas, we are getting orders for the Simplest Turkey for Easter. Customers at Christmas found cooking a fabulous meal for up to 10 people in just an hour, greatly reduced the stress involved with the traditional Christmas dinner. Easter doesn't need to be any different! Instead you can sit back and enjoy the whole occasion.

Order by 4pm Wednesday 31st March & we will deliver to your home by 12 noon on the 1st April.

So, what else was involved on our Christmas day meal?

We par-boiled the Marfona potatoes (from a sack from www.greysfarm.co.uk given to us by a dear friend from Cornwall), and then sliced them almost through crossways before roasting them in our goose fat.The carrot and swede from Carol at www.culmvalleyveg.co.uk, was blended with lots of butter and a generous twist of black pepper! And Carol's sprouts were as good as they get!The Turkey emerged from the oven and we left it to rest in the kitchen. We added the juices from the turkey itself to the stock which had bubbled away on the chimney!

We popped the "pigs in blankets" into the wood oven and they sizzled and crisped within a few minutes!At this moment it felt slightly poignant, as it always does!  The thought of the hundreds of homes where Pipers Farm turkeys were being served, and as always we felt a strong sense of responsibility, hoping everyone was enjoying their special festive meals as we were!Especially this year we were conscious that we had launched a totally new concept with our "Simplest Christmas Turkey".Deep down, though, we feel confident that we have done everything possible to give our customers memorable meals .. . . . and right now the sense of expectation in our kitchen was an exciting reminder of why we feel so passionate about our work!The meal was really sensational, and even after all the build up . . . we loved it!No doubt the quality of the singing once we’d opened our "musical crackers" was a lot less impressive than the meal we had just enjoyed!

You are an organised bunch! Some of our loyal customers are already putting their christmas turkey orders in.

This year we're suggesting they make the switch to our boned and stuffed Bronze turkeys and loads have agreed to put our birds to the test. OK we know that the traditionalists out there are going to shudder and say that you've got to have a giant bird which will takes days to defrost, barely fits in the oven, makes the carver feel like a contestant on the Krypton Factor and then roosts in the fridge for days. And if you really can't stand the thought of change then we do understand.

However there is a brilliant alternative - even though we say so ourselves! Our stuffed joints of brown and white meat are cooked separately side by side, for the same amount of time and the juices make a delicious sauce. When it comes to carving, the brown and white meats are separate, unlike with ordinary boned and stuffed turkeys. This ensures everyone can be served with exactly the slices they want. It also means that absolutely nothing goes to waste, which equals superb value for money. Oh and it really makes life an awful lot easier for whoever is carving!

There's also a delicious stuffing. The scrumptious ingredients include apricots, hazelnuts, ham, fresh herbs and lemon juice.

It couldn't be easier - well actually it could! We like to go that bit further for our customers so we're also adding free chipolatas wrapped in streaky bacon and a tub of turkey stock (perfect for gravy) to all orders for boned and stuffed turkeys this Christmas.

All our birds are reared free-range in local orchards and are dry plucked and hung for three weeks which gives them a deeper, stronger flavour.

We don't want to boast, well OK then we just might have to, because our Bronze turkeys are looking absolutely beautiful! It's a little cloudy today but last week they have been strutting their stuff in local orchards with their green-bronze feathers gleaming in the sunshine.

As a family we love Christmas but the run-up is always a very hectic time for us and the turkeys are, of course, a big part of this. Our turkeys mature over a six month period until they become adult birds - about twice the age of intensively produced turkeys, which, depending on what size they are being reared to, may have only recently hatched and will spend their lives growing in crowded, windowless rearing sheds. Horrible.

Of course our 'slow grow' approach means our birds have been out on the farm - and basking in that September sunshine - for ages. Even though we hate seeing signs of Christmas creeping into the shops too early we just can't help but think ahead to December when we look at our happy turkeys.

In fact we've worked out as our last order for a guaranteed Christmas delivery is Sunday 20th December that gives you 75 days to get your order in. So what are you waiting for?!
