Turkey Time!

brooklynk — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 14:37:36 +0000

It’s that time again! Pre-order your 100% true free range, hormone and antibiotic free turkeys for Thanksgiving!

10-14 lbs * 14-19 lbs * 19-22 lbs

Our birds are raised on small local farms in Lancaster County, PA by Amish and Mennonite farmers, and are 100% true free range, hormone and antibiotic free. All birds are processed (slaughtered) by hand on farm, not in a factory operation. All birds are slaughtered at twice the usual slaughter age as at big factory farms, insuring a healthy, well raised animal that tastes the way a turkey should.
