Pre-Order Your Turkey Now – Don't Miss Out! 🦃

October flew by, and we can’t believe it’s already almost November. 🍁 🍠 This is your friendly reminder to place your turkey pre-order before it’s too late! Turkeys will be available for pickup starting Thursday, November 14th.

We’re excited to announce that our turkey prices remain the same as last year, all while maintaining the same great quality! Our turkeys are free-range and sustainably raised by a small family farm on open pastures, with organic feed and no antibiotics—there's no comparison to mass-production!

Make sure to get your order in over the next few weeks by checking your approximate preferred weight along with a tentative pickup date on your pre-order form. We'll have limited quantities of turkey and plenty of other seasonal goods. 🦃

For those who have already placed your turkey pre-orders, we have been in contact regarding the details!

You can still place your weekly pre-orders as usual, or come see us in the shop!
