Wild Turkey Farms News- December 17, 2010

Wild Turkey Farms News- Dec 17, 2010

Did anyone notice it's been cold? At least we had a nice balmy day on Thursday and looks like today will be a repeat. I know many of you have been looking forward to our last batch of chickens for the year since early December. I've got to confess that even though I've been looking forward to taking them off the payroll, the weather over the last 2 weeks has had me less than enthusiastic about processing them though. We plan to take advantage of this nice weather & process some of them this afternoon. What we don't get to today we'll hopefully finish tomorrow afternoon. Come find us early at the farmer's markets tomorrow for the chickens we do get to or plan to come visit us at the farm over the weekend to pick up a fresh bird.

As many of you know we're really passionate about promoting the many great local foods available from not only us but the many other great small farms in our area. We feel strongly that healthy, local foods can and should be available to everyone regardless of income. We would like to invite you to share the holiday spirit and help make good food available this holiday season to the less fortunate. You can do this by purchasing some extra at the farmers markets and taking it to your local mission. To really make your money go farther visit with the farmers at the end of the market and help them by purchasing some of their leftover vegetables to donate.


Davidson Farmer's Market (9-Noon). We're all tailgating in the lower parking lot on Jackson St this weekend so come find us at our winter spot.

Salisbury Farmer's Market (10-Noon) Domisty will be there so you can stock up for your holiday meals. Best bet is to email us your order today so she can have it ready for you to pick up.



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