About Hogan's Farm

Seventy birds, and a good idea

In 1962 Teresa Hogan decided to rear a few turkeys for Christmas. Seventy of them, sold to neighbours and friends from a small dairy farm in Cortown. 64 years later her sons Fintan and Paul run the same farm, and turkey is still the only thing we do.

Second generation, family owned, 25 people employed locally, and some of them here more than 25 years.

One farm, one family

From Charlesfort to your table

When you order from Hogan's there is no middleman and no mystery. One farm, one family, start to finish.

First

Reared on the farm

Every bird is reared here in Co. Meath: Charlesfort Whites in airy barns, Woodland Bronzes out in the woodland.

Then

Prepared by hand

Our own team prepares, trusses and finishes each order in the farm butchery, weighed and labelled to your order.

Finally

Delivered or collected

Chilled delivery across Leinster by county date at checkout (subject to change), or farm collection on a day you pick (21 to 24 December). Dedicated collection days mean there is no queuing.

All year round

Beyond the Christmas bird

Beyond the farm gate

You have probably eaten our turkey already

Most people meet us at Christmas. The rest of the year we supply butchers, retailers and kitchens across Ireland.

Our everyday retail portions are stocked in supermarkets nationwide, and we have supplied the trade far longer than we have sold online. Alongside the farm and the shop sits Kells Coldstores, the third part of the family business.
