WTF News- August 5, 2011

Wild Turkey Farms News- August 5

Pasture Roasted Pork, Beef, and Chicken

Rain Rain PLEASE!!! Weatherman says it looks like rain so let's all keep our fingers crossed.

As the saying goes- "Any publicity is good publicity". Whoever said that never had our luck. Many of you may have seen the news about the giant turkey meat recall. Somehow our "friends" at one of the Charlotte news stations listed Wild Turkey Farms not as being involved in the recall but as one of the larger turkey farms in NC. We figure (hope) that there was a high school intern that googled turkey farms in NC and we popped up. After more than 10 years dealing with television, radio, and paper reporters, it's still amazing the lack of fact checking that occurs in some of our news sources.

I would like to take this time to thank everyone that helps support Wild Turkey Farms. We work hard to provide you with safe, healthy, and high quality foods that you can feel good about feeding your family. Hopefully these recalls help everyone realize the importance of having that direct connection with your food and farmer. Join those that enjoy this confidence and come see us at the market.
