Adams Turkey Farm

Adams Turkey Farm, doing business as Adams Farm, is a poultry slaughter and processing establishment at 1192 Old Stage Road in Westford, Vermont, in Chittenden County. It operates under USDA FSIS establishment number P51228 with a grant of inspection date on file of October 1, 2021. FSIS lists the plant as Very Small and records activities of poultry slaughter and poultry processing, with poultry as the species slaughtered under inspection. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

According to the farm's website, Adams Turkey Farm is family owned and operated and was founded in 1984 by Dave and Judy Adams to raise Vermont turkeys for Thanksgiving. In 2004 the farm began raising and processing chickens for local markets and restaurants. The website states that all birds are processed on the farm in its own facility and are USDA inspected for wholesomeness, and that birds are raised on an all natural, all vegetarian, antibiotic and hormone free grain in large open-air barns with access to fresh water and natural sunlight.

The farm reports selling its chickens and turkeys to local markets in Chittenden and Franklin counties and partnering with Burlington restaurants through Vermont's Farm Fresh Network. The website is oriented toward the farm's own birds, and it does not describe processing service for animals owned by other farmers. Details beyond what is listed here are not yet on file.

Households can reserve a whole Vermont turkey through the farm's online store. As listed for the 2025 season, a $25 deposit reserves a bird in a chosen weight range (15 to 17 lb, 18 to 22 lb, 23 to 26 lb, or 27 to 32 lb), turkeys are priced at $4.79 per pound with the final price calculated at checkout by actual weight, and the deposit counts toward the total. The listing states a turkey within the chosen size range is provided but a specific weight cannot be guaranteed, and it includes a size guide by number of guests. Pickup is at the farm at 1192 Old Stage Road, Westford, on Monday, November 24 and Tuesday, November 25 from 10:00am to 6:00pm. At the time the page was fetched, all pre-order size variants showed as sold out. The website does not mention shipping, delivery, or a year-round retail counter.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
