Wild Turkey Farms News- September 3, 2010

Wild Turkey Farms News- Sept 3, 2010

HOTDOGS ARE BACK Just picked up a fresh batch of our hotdogs (both the fat & skinny ones) as well as our German brats.

All star Charcuterie weekend at the Grove Park Inn- This was definitely a weekend for the record books at Wild Turkey Farms. We participated in Protein University this week which was an event that brought the some of the best whole animal chefs and butchers from across the country to the historic Grove Park Inn in Asheville. Of course in the quest to source the finest in local animals they contacted us for one of our Berkshire pigs. In exchange for providing a pig we got to spend 3 days with the butchers and chefs as they coached the GPI chefs how to utilize everything but the squeal, moo, & baa from whole animals. We also got to network with other farmers from NC, Alabama, & Missouri which was a great learning experience. We loved getting to know all of the Chefs from the GPI and see the dedication and passion that they bring to their work but the best part was definitely eating 3 meals a day that they'd prepared- gourmet quality all the way!!!
