4 H Turkey Project Becomes Full Time Farm Job
Bartholomew and Son operate a growing turkey business near Erie starting from a 4-H project in 1955.

The operation centers on range houses and a 30 by 100 broader house with wire floors to reduce labor and disease risk. The Bartholomews source poults from a Fredonia hatchery and sell hens at about 20 weeks and toms at 24 weeks, aiming for higher egg output while expanding facilities and production capacity.
