Your Lakes Region Destination for Farm-to-Table Dining
Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant has been a cornerstone of the Lakes Region since 1954, offering home-style meals rooted in family tradition. Founded by Mae and Lawrence Hart, our establishment began as a 12-seat diner specializing in turkey dinners and has grown into a 500-seat destination with private dining rooms, a seasonal deck, and the Copper Kettle Tavern. Our commitment to quality, service, and scratch-made cooking remains unchanged, with recipes passed down through four generations.We specialize in farm-to-table dining, catering for events of all sizes, and providing guests with fresh and frozen products through our gift shop. With decades of experience in hospitality, we continue to uphold the values of hard work and authenticity that define our family-owned business.
