Info on Thanksgiving Turkey's:
Be near your email on October 24th because the turkey email will be going out!!!!
Hard to believe that it's that time of year again but it is.
As has been our tradition at WTF, you get first dibs on this year's turkeys since you got one last year. Here are the details so look over and let us know if you plan to participate again this year
- we anticipate this years turkeys will be about 13-15lbs - (this year we didn't start any early birds so we don't expect to have any of the 18+lb birds at all)
- if you have a size request now is the time to let us know (ie bigger bird or smaller bird) and we'll do the best to match you up with what's available
- this year we plan to have birds available for pick up at the farmers markets on the Saturday before thanksgiving
-due to the limited number of birds we may have to limit everyone to 1 bird- if you would like a second bird please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate that request
- price is $4.99/lb which is up mainly due to a big feed cost increase this year
- let us know if you plan to get a turkey by replying back to this email you can then mail a $25 deposit to:
Wild Turkey Farms
PO Box 491
China Grove NC 28034
or you can pay your deposit at the farmers markets this weekend
- in the name of full disclosure and transparency- we can not claim this year's birds as 100% antibiotic free. at 2 weeks of age we had a spell of brooder pneumonia which claimed about 75 poults so we had to administer antibiotics for 3 days to stop the losses. the withdrawal time prior to slaughter for the AB was about 2 weeks so by the time these are harvested they will have had over 7 times the required withdrawal period so they should be as clean as an AB free turkey
Thanks for your continued support
