Welcome to our Farm


Welcome To Tuckers Turkey Farm. We are located in Madison County, Kentucky. We moved here in the spring of 2006, almost a thousand miles from home, far away from everyone we knew, in search of a dream. We lived by the ocean in New England and we loved it there. Soon we began to realize that we wanted more than just living in an apartment for the rest of our lives. We also wanted to live a more healthy life and grow our own food. I am a homeschooling mom of three and my husband is an electrician. Buying a farm anywhere in New England was next to impossible, so we brought out a map, closed our eyes and threw a dart to see where it would land. Just kidding. We carefully researched all over the country for a good place to raise our family and buy a small farm. We prayed and searched and soon had narrowed it down to three states. My husband posted his resume online and we finally decided that Kentucky would be the place for us to call home. Originally we wanted to move to Bowling Green, but God led us to Madison County instead. Four months after we moved here we closed on our very first home. It had everything that we needed, and a lot of things we wanted too. We love it here. I miss the ocean and our family and friends, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Stay tuned for more farm adventures! Pictured here is a chicken coop that we built ourselves!
