It's almost Turkey Time!
Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes some of my favorite things - fresh apples, pears, and pumpkins and other squash. We also have baby piglets being born, the air finally cooling off, and lots of pickles and bacon being made.
And, it's not too early to start thinking about ordering a pastured and organically raised free range turkey for your holiday meals. This year, we started the turkeys a little bit later in hopes that they won't be quite as gigantic as they were last year. They are growing quickly, and devouring all the grass, clover, weeds, and grasshoppers they can find.
All turkeys will be delivered FRESH, not frozen, within 7 days of Thanksgiving. The delivery dates are as follows:

Price and Payment
We are asking for a $40 downpayment to reserve your turkey. This is so we can pay our feed bills - we are buying organically grown, nonGMO feed, as well as all natural mineral supplements to keep the birds and their pasture healthy. The remainder of your turkey cost will be accepted at the time of delivery.
Turkeys will be $3.90/lb. We expect the dressed turkeys to weigh between 12 and 22 pounds.
To Order
Orders will be taken starting now, by the following: through the website, at your CSA pickup, over the phone, or by mailing in an order form. You will be given the option to request size of turkey:
Small - 10-15 pounds
Medium - 12-18 pounds
Large - 16 -24 pounds
These are approximate sizes, we will do our best to match your preference. If you are not a CSA member, we will email you to confirm delivery location.
Happy Fall!
Anna
