What is The Golden Turkey Quality Assurance Guarantee?
The Traditional Farm-fresh Turkey Association (TFTA) is a group of independent family-run farms across the UK producing free range turkeys specifically for Christmas – to their Golden Turkey Quality Assurance Growing Standard. Our ‘Golden Turkey’ Quality Assurance Guarantee sets the standard for the very finest quality free range Christmas turkeys.
