Turk's Poultry Operational History
Turk’s Poultry Farm Ltd is a family owned and operated poultry production and
processing unit that is vertically integrated from rearing to sales and dispatch of
poultry products. The business currently employs 150 staff at 5 locations from
Auckland to Foxton and has been operating in the Kapiti-Horowhenua district
since 1966 as an Egg producer and since 1996 as a broiler chicken production
unit.
Turks Poultry was founded by Mr John Turk (Snr) with his original business plan.
With the support of his wife, family and dedicated staff, hard work and commitment
to its ideals it has grown into the business and staff structure that it is today.
Turks Poultry Farm Ltd now deals in products and services that include Eggs,
Poultry Products, Small Goods, and an Engineering Firm.
This diverse and challenging range of products and services is still in the hands

and a depot in Auckland.
Turk’s Poultry has an excellent working relationship with a diverse group of suppliers
who are involved in the business from raising the chickens and grain
through contract growing, to supply of packaging and parts and machinery.

NATURAL FLAVOUR and GOODNESS
When you choose a Turk’s chicken you’re choosing pure, natural chicken.
Free from additives and hormones; we don't artificially fatten our birds; we
don't hide the off cuts inside so they weigh more. We use nutritionist specialists
to ensure optimum performance and quality. We produce our own
corn feed that is grown by local farmers so we know exactly what's in it
and where it comes from. When you buy a Turk’s corn feed chicken you’re
buying natural corn flavor and goodness.
