Wild Turkey Farms Quick News- May 21, 2010

Yesterday was a day of anticipation, worry, then excitement. We had Frank Corriher Well Drilling Co come out and install an irrigation well for our garden so we can get back into providing some of our tasty DNO (dang near organic) veggies later this summer. As anyone who's had a well drilled know it's a gamble- only you don't know the odds or whether the wager is for $3000 or $10,000 but you do know at the end of the day you'll owe someone a bunch of money. I was out of town so I was elated about 1pm when I got the call saying we had hit plenty of water and hadn't gone that deep- thank goodness something finally went our way!!! (the last well we drilled cost nearly as much as my truck and only yielded 1 gallon per minute). Anyhow, come on out to the farmers markets this weekend and stock up on our great tasting Pasture Raised Berkshire Pork and Grass Fed Beef to help pay! for this great addition to the farm.

Thanks so much to everyone that came out to our open house last Saturday- especially those volunteers that made everything go so smoothly.

We're excited to announce that we are restocked on beef this weekend (after a 6am run to the processors this morning). Our freezers are packed to the tops so we need your help making some room. This week's specials are:
Beef- short & long ribs- 20% off
Beef Liver- 1/2 price!!!
Pork- Hot Italian Links, American Bratwurst, and Breakfast Patties (hot or mild)- 10% off
Pork Shanks and Beef Shanks 25% off
Chopped BBQ Pork- Back by popular demand- 1lb vacuum packed & frozen only $7.99 or 2lbs for $15
New Items this week-
Cajun Sausage links same great flavor as our Anduille but with a little more kick
Hot Breakfast Patties- a fast option for busy mornings.

Come join us at the China Grove Farmers Market at the Mill today!!!! We'll be at the Roller Mill in China Grove with other local farmers from 4-7pm.

Davidson Farmer's Market (8am-noon). Remember that we're in the parking lot of town hall this year so that we can work out of our trailer. This allows us to have a larger volume on hand & better serve everyone. We'll be beside our friends at the Correll Farm so come to "the South End" to stock up on great tasting locally raised natural meats, eggs, and veggies. Our young chickens are starting to lay pretty good but it'll still be a few weeks until we'll have plenty of eggs & stop selling out by 10am . Sorry but until then you'll need to be there early to get eggs.

Domisty will be set up at the Salisbury Farmers Market tomorrow so come find us under the big green tent 7am-noon so come on out and load up on great pork, beef, lamb, & goat. She'll be working out of her van with limited space so you are welcome to email us your order today to make sure you'll get what you need tomorrow & help her better prepare. If you're interested email us to get an updated product list.


We hope that you'll support some of the chefs & businesses that support us & other local farmers.
