About

Gozzi’s Turkey Farm has been a family-run business for more than 70 years, founded by brothers William and Bruno Gozzi. Each year from November 1 through Christmas, the farm puts its famous colorful turkeys on display, birds dyed in bright pink, blue, green, and yellow using non-toxic food coloring. The tradition began decades ago with the family matriarch, Grandma Gozzi.

Committed to maintaining healthy soil and humane practices, the farm avoids harsh chemicals and pesticides, instead relying on compost and natural fertilizers. Their turkeys have plenty of room to roam and grow at a natural pace, free from chemicals or growth hormones.

A visit to Gozzi’s has become a long-standing holiday tradition in Connecticut, drawing generations of families who return year after year to see the cheerful, vibrant flock.
