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 corn and soy free turkey feed, which contains a specially formulated blend of wheat, peas or lentils, flaxseed and flaxseed oil, barley, fishmeal, kelp, molasses, and a nutri-balancer which has vitamins and minerals.
Our turkeys come frozen. They're frozen immediately after harvest. 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 of November. So, when you see the size you'd like, order it ASAP!
We'll send an email when turkey sales are open! It should be around November 4. Please keep an eye on your inbox..
Our turkeys generally 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'll charge you for the exact weigh when we pack your order.
