| Heiko Oegema, helping his father since day one,
was joined full-time by his brother Tom in 1973 after earning
his Degree from the University of Guelph. Together, after the
passing of Sikko in 1974, they built the farm to it's present
state, working over 1,200 acres of crops and raising over 55,000
turkeys per year. Younger brother Hans was employed full time
for many years as well. |

 Heiko's oldest son, Mike, came on board in 1987 after
receiving a business Degree from Redeemer College in Ancaster,
Ontario. In 1992, Mike was put in charge of a new facet of the
business. This was the start of The Turkey Shoppe.
The old workshop was converted to a store and further renovations
were completed in 1996 to get the retail facility to it's present
state. Now open year round, the store specializes in many different
turkey products, the majority of which are produced right in
the store.
Every Christmas and Thanksgiving the store is a beehive of
activity with customers picking up fresh and frozen turkeys,
turkey breasts and turkey roasts.
(Fresh products, during the busy holiday seasons, should be pre-ordered.)
During the summer months, burgers, sausages, marinated turkey
breast portions, and bacon wrapped turkey medallions are all
the rage. During the cooler winter months the turkey schnitzel,
turkey pies and turkey roasts are popular
