Time to Talk Turkey!

Even though the weather is beginning to warm a bit and we are anxiously awaiting spring, it is time to talk about Thanksgiving! Specifically your Thanksgiving turkey (gobble!). We will be offering turkeys once again this year. However, after much deliberation, we will be selling them differently than in 2011. Instead of taking deposits for birds we have decided to raise them and sell them on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning in November. We had some disappointed customers last year when our turkeys came in much lighter than expected. This year, instead of taking deposits, customers will be able to come to the farm and select a bird and weight that will best suit their Thanksgiving feast.

We will once again be raising heritage breed Bourbon Red turkeys as well as Broad-breasted Whites. These turkeys will be free-range and completely natural – we do not give them any antibiotics or growth hormones. By raising these two breeds we will be able to offer a wider range of weights to meet our customer’s needs. We anticipate weights will be between 6-25 lbs. Pricing is as follows:

Bourbon Red: $6.50/lb. (Average 6-15 lbs.)

Broad-breasted White: $5.00/lb. (Average 10-25 lbs.)

Turkeys will be shrink-wrapped and come as a frozen, whole bird. They will be available for purchase beginning November 1 at our farm. More information can be found here: Turkeys
