Our history

Grown from the hard work of Norfolk-born Bernard Matthews, who started the business with just 20 turkey eggs, Bernard Matthews Farms now employs more than 2000 people and farms over 7 million turkeys each year.

We're continually evolving, changing with the market to meet new demands, and always monitoring the constant shifts in eating and lifestyle trends.

We're forward thinking, and always have been, and that's been a major factor in our success as the UK's leading turkey brand.
