This was by far the worst experience we have ever had processing our birds. We showed up almost 15 minutes early for our appointment and then had to wait almost an hour after our appointment time. Our birds were so stressed that we actually lost one of our turkeys while waiting for processing. They were very rough with our birds in caused us to lose a second turkey due to the amount of bruising on the breast. They broke wings and legs. They over scolded and even burnt some of our birds. This place has no concern for the quality of the their processing. We lost over $400 worth of meat due to Johnson’s carelessness and poor processing practices.

Fabulous first time. Pulled right in early. Loved the guys having fun at their job. My teens watched and enjoyed the experience. 10 turkeys and a rooster were done by the time we could pull the truck around and set up the containers to take them home. Young man was loading us up as we paid. Definitely recommend!

We ended up with three extra birds from the guy in front of us. We got there right on time (actually 10 mins early) for our appointment and had to wait 40 minutes. Several of our birds were missing wings (6 in total) and one was missing both legs. Almost every bird had innards that were not fully removed. Sloppy, careless and disrespectful of our home grown meat. Please take my recommendation and take your birds somewhere else or do it yourself.

Had an appointment at 11:30. We sat in line until 2:30. By the time we got up to the line 3 out of our 4 chickens had died. The owner proceeded to tell us it was our fault as well as telling other customers it was their fault. He said chickens can't get that hot. Well, nobody was expecting to sit in line for 3 hours. He told people machines were down after they payed and said he considered closing for the day. But NEVER texted any customers about the delay. An absolute joke and waste of time, money etc. I will NEVER recommend any 4H people to go here. He never came up to the cars in line to apologize or mention the awful wait time. Absolutely ridiculous.

I had 3 Rouen drakes processed here after an extensive search for a custom poultry processor. Very quick and easy. Highly recommend.

Just placed my order for this Thanksgiving. Last year’s turkey was delicious, juicy and everyone who tried it loved it. When we picked it up we had no problems whatsoever. We were so happy with the service and product. Thanks so much Johnson Farms!

Great service, everyone was very nice and they processed the chickens very quickly. A little bit backed up today which is not common.

I was referred here by a friend and while some of the other reviews I read before coming were less than stellar I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. I brought 30 cornish cross meatbirds from our farm to test the waters. I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with the owner and learning that this business is a true American business success story having been family owned and operated for three generations. They are big enough to have good equipment and enough staff to very efficiently process my birds real time and have a set-up that mimics the efficiency of a McDonald's drive through. I arrived a bit later that I had anticipated so when I got there I was surprised to join a line of vehicles and other trucks with livestock trailers. Not knowing what to expect I thought I would be waiting for hours, but to my surprise even though some livestock trailers had 2-3 as many birds as I did the line moved fairly quick and before I knew it, I was backing my trailer up to the cones to unload. I think its important to note that the chickens are dispatched as you pass them off to the team so If this is something that bothers you, maybe call ahead or explore other options. I personally appreciate the transparency and liken it to counter service at a diner where I can watch the cook grill my burger and plate my meal. If you want giblets, liver, heart gizzards or feet you need to let them know as you unload and while this does cost a little extra, their rates are more than reasonable. All in all including ice my birds cost just over $150 to process and this is something that would have taken me the entirety of a very long day to do at the farm by myself with my inadequate equipment. I felt that the staff were professional, that the quality was great and I booked a date for my next run of 75 birds before I left. I am also getting on the list for Turkeys in November to gift to my employees as I did not raise any myself this year.

We called to make an appointment for 6 ducks and were told they would be $6 a piece to process. Once we arrived we offered to pay before hand. They said no. Once processing was done with a lot of pin feathers left they charged us $15 a bird! They were fast though.
