Ordered a large 9kg turkey this year and got a wonderfully big bird, perfect for the outlaws table. Everyone loved it and The Friendly Farmer is fast becoming a Christmas tradition and keeping me in the good books with Command and Control. Thanks so much.

Excellent product! Got an 8kg Bronze Turkey: fab! Ordered and paid for online, which is so convenient. Beautiful flavour and lots of meat for the hungry hoards to enjoy!
Well done and keep up the good work.

My guests on Xmass day all said the same thing and that was that it was the best turkey they had ever eaten.

We had a 5 lb turkey for Christmas Day which along with a small ham lasted for 3 days for 4 people- with extra sandwiches etc. – the turkey was delicious . Ordering, info provided and communication was excellent. It all made Christmas dinner hassle free and so tasty. I’ll be ordering again from friendly farmer next year.

I ordered a 5 kg bronze turkey and ham for Christmas. Both tasted delicious. Our guests said the turkey tasted lovely and moist. It was my first time ordering from the Friendly Farmer and I found them very helpful and efficient. I obtained an email and text letting me know that my turkey and ham were ready for collection and the dates and times when I could collect them. I will be ordering my turkey and ham from the Friendly Farmer next year.

My second year getting a Friendly Farmer turkey and I will never get a turkey anywhere else! One of the best Christmas dinners I’ve ever had!

Great Turkey best we’ve ever had. Thanks
Kathleen Dunne –
Got a lovely turkey from you for Christmas. Had guests from USA and England. All said the turkey was nice and moist and there was plenty left for sandwiches. Keep up the good work. Repeat order going your way for next year.
The Happy Loaf –
Very tasty. Nicest bird we’ve ever had in the oven. Definitely follow the cooking instructions the friendly farmer recommends. Keep an eye on it as its cooking as it was cooked 1hr faster than timed by times and weights given on website.
Aoife –
Everyone agreed , the best turkey we have ever had . Thanks so much !!!
David Mc Grath –
Got a 6kg turkey for the 5th time from the Friendly Farmer. Boned, stuffed and rolled the legs and cooked the turkey separately and the legs a little later. Both were moist and tasty and all at the table agreed. Hope to repeat again next Christmas.
Maisie Lee –
Absolutely delicious and a very festive and enjoyable experience picking it up, got us in the spirit!

I can’t imagine Christmas without a Bronze Turkey from Ronán, it’s a simple as that.
Anne Farrell –
Ordering, collecting and eating a Friendly Farmer Bronze turkey a family tradition in our house at this stage. Continued success to you in 2020.
Clodagh –
Fantastic turkey
Liam Mcgregor –
I followed the instructions as per video. But the Turkey was completely overdone. I should have checked the Turkey more often but I would say the recommended time to cook should be significantly reduced.
Thank you.
Maria Fallon. –
First time customer of the friendly farmer. Turkey was delicious. Ham was fantastic. Pick up was very convenient. So much better than going into town. Delighted to support a local farmer. Do you sell turkeys for Easter and if you do can it be picked up at the farm as going into town is painful! Please let me know. We will buy from you again next year!
Richard O’Donnell –

We thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas turkey. My Mum used to rear turkeys, we tried the shop bought turkeys but no going back now after finding the friendly farmer. These turkeys are every bit as tasty as the ones my Mum had.

1st Class produce and 1st Class Service. Would highly recommend and it’s great to see a local cottage industry offer a website and customer service to the highest standards

Róisín Curé –
Great service and delicious turkey and ham enjoyed knowing they lived a happy life. Siobhan was lovely to deal with. We’ll be back next year.
Sandra –
I’ve been getting The Friendly Farmer Turkeys for a few years now and its never failed! Nothing has yet to compare! The meatiest, moist and tastiest Turkey meat! So many dry and tasteless versions out there as with anything I guess. Its important to know you can get top quality product from The Friendly Farmer! You can ever see them in Oct when pumpkin picking on the farm so you know and see their environment is adequate. You’ll never have to question where your meat comes from and for me that’s what its all about!! Keep doing what your doing Friendly Farmer!
Margaret Gardner –
Lovely moist succulent turkey. I look forward to the next one. Keep up the good work.

Turkey was fab as it is every year, its always the highlight of the Christmas dinner and the sambos the following day are just as good.
Cliona McEnroy –
Fantastic turkey and fantastic service third year running.
Linda –
Ordered a 7kg bronze.
The whole process was a pleasure – from the ordering to the taste.
Sending several collection dates and times was very helpful
The bird was truly succulent and flavoursome.
Thanks a lot
Will definitely get the turkey again and will get the ham there too
Sue Kidby –
My first time with Friendly Farmer so wasn’t sure what to expect but my turkey was positively succulent. I had to cook it in the morning as I had a relative to visit in hospital in the afternoon. Don’t know whether it was the long resting time but it carved like a dream. Leftovers for the next couple of days were still juicy. Made turkey curry from the legs, and wings and turkey soup from the rest of the carcass so it was great value for money. I certainly know where to go for next year
Paul Hession –
My first time to use The Friendly Farmer and it’s great to support local enterprise. Had a delicious turkey for the big day and it was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Very juicy and tender. Will definitely be making an order again for next Christmas.
