Now Accepting Orders for Farm Fresh Thanksgiving Turkeys

Gobble gobble. I know it’s only early October, but for a farm-to-table Thanksgiving, it’s time to start thinking about THE TURKEY.
Our turkeys are a traditional "white" breed. They are free roaming turkeys that run around the pasture and forage for bugs A LOT. They are fed an organic soy-free turkey feed, which contains a specially formulated blend of corn, wheat, peas, barley, fishmeal, flax seed, kelp, and a nutri-balancer which has kelp, vitamins, and minerals.
Our turkeys come fresh, vacuum sealed and never frozen, processed within one week of delivery. They are all-natural - no antibiotics, no hormones, no artificial flavors, no colors, no synthetic ingredients, no preservatives.... nothing added (and, woah, can you believe that much stuff goes into other turkeys?).
It’s been a tough year for raising turkeys. The weather in the farmer’s area has been either super hot and sunny or really, really wet. This are not good conditions for producing large turkeys. They will still be tasty and nutrient-dense but likely on the small side.
The farmer wants to give you a heads up that we won’t know how big the turkeys will be until the beginning on November. Although we are taking orders for turkeys up to 18 lb, they may not reach that size.
If you do order a large turkey and the farmer cannot provide it, the farmer will personally give you a call to discuss the options. Perhaps you’d prefer the largest bird possible or two smaller birds.
We have officially opened turkey sales! Turkey orders are due before November 4 at midnight.
Our turkeys are $6.20 per pound and come in 3 size groups: 8-10 lbs, 11-13 lbs, and 14-18 lbs.
How do you figure out how big of a turkey you need? A good rule of thumb is 1 lb per person, or 1.5 lbs per person if you want leftovers. You can even buy two smaller turkeys. Serve one at Thanksgiving dinner, and roast the second one for leftovers!
To order a turkey, all you need to do is add your Whole Fresh Turkey to your next order. We will partially charge the order and charge you for the rest once we know the exact weight of your turkey.
