The company's website, published as Diestel Family Ranch, describes a family farming operation that says it has operated since 1949 and for more than 70 years. The site states that products are produced according to animal welfare and environmental standards, and it markets turkey products alongside a newly introduced chicken line. Product pages list claims including Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Regenified, pasture raised, and no antibiotics ever, and reference third-party testing and a regenerative program tied to soil and feed.

Sales are handled through an online store organized by category: deli meat, grinds and sausage, bacon and burgers, turkey breast, whole birds, and specialty. The site notes standard shipping is free to California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah with a $50 minimum, that some items are online exclusives not yet available in retail stores, and that store pickup is unavailable for at least one listed item.
