Help Us Feed 169 Towns This Thanksgiving Season

Our Story

Founded In Community

Founded in 1950, Miller Farms is a fourth-generation, community-driven business that believes Everyone Is Family. With humble beginnings selling eggs door to door, Earl and Margaret Miller prided themselves on listening to the needs of their neighbors and making time to help others.

The tradition lives on at our landmark location in Avon, Connecticut and beyond with our all-natural pet food brand, Oma's Pride.

Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday. Family. Friends. Food comas. And in the middle of it all...turkey! For over 70 years, we've brought people together with our signature Thanksgiving turkeys. Yes, over a million people have enjoyed a Miller Farms turkey since the 1950s. 

In 2020, we had to pivot and move the celebration and store online, while launching a new tradition called the Thankful Turkey, partnering with other multi-generational family farms to source the best turkeys in the country. 

Each purchase of a turkey and donation benefited Connecticut Foodshare, our local Feeding America food bank partner, to help alleviate the pressures of food insecurity.

Feeding 100,000 People in 2023

Since 2020, we have helped feed 200,000 people during the Thanksgiving holiday. In 2023, we fed 100,000 people through direct turkey donations to Connecticut Foodshare.

Join us in 2024 where we aim to help fight food insecurity in all 169 towns in Connecticut.You can help make a difference by making donation or by purchasing a Miller Farms thankful turkey
