Our Story

For 90 years, our family has been dedicated to rearing free range turkeys. We take pride in feeding them with our home grown grain and following traditional production methods. 

We are a small family farming business located in north east Suffolk, where the Mobbs family have been growing free range turkeys in a traditional way for ninety years. Percy Mobbs was the first one in the family to become a farmer. In those days he had a mixed farm with crops, poultry, pigs, sheep, cattle and even blackcurrants.

Today, just up the road from where we started, we grow free range turkeys and a mixture of arable crops to feed them, including wheat, barley, beans, and peas. Although much has changed in farming over the decades we are proud that we still grow and prepare our turkeys in the traditional way and we mill our own turkey feed from the grain grown on the farm.

Our business relies on the whole family and if you meet us at food festivals or on the farm, you won’t only come across me and my wife, Judith, you may also meet our three children Fran, Alan and Graham, who each play their part in the business as the fourth generation to be involved.

Some things have changed in the last 90 years, but Percy & Mabel would still recognise much of our ethos and way of doing things...
