Ron Thome, whose farm is located just west of Wichita in Goddard, Kansas, is a master at raising Heritage turkeys.

His mother Ester Thome raised turkeys on range and was involved with the industry for many decades. Ron's father was a Kansas wheat farmer.

Ron is carrying on the tradition of raising turkeys on free range by being a part of the Heritage Turkey project. He can still use the farm's original design from many years before.
