Did you happen to seee this announcement in  our newsletter?

Want a great meal with lots of fun, at a farm setting, for a good cause?


Well you are in luck, we've got just the thing for you!!! Our friend Courtney (she works the trailer for us at Davidson) has teamed up with the guys at The Market Kitchen to host a farm dinner for pancreatic cancer research Sunday June 3 @ 5pm. Wild Turkey Farms and several other area farms (Twin Oaks Farms, North 40 Farm, and more) are donating food to the dinner so it's sure to be great. Best of all 100% of the money made goes to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network!

Tickets are on sale through the Market Kitchen Website so make plans to come join us for a great meal and a great cause!
********************************************************************************

We are fortunate to have opportunities with the farm that we might not have otherwise.  One of them was this event JJ's Pig Pickin'.  Chris Coleman from the Market Kitchen along with members of his family & friends hosted a Head-to-Tail Celebration of Food, Friends, & Philanthropy to raise money for Pancretic Cancer Research.  Earlier this year Chris's mother (JJ) lost a long battle with pancretic cancer.

WTF News- June 1st

Wild Turkey Farms News- June 1


Can't believe that June is already here and boy oh boy did May decide to leave on a hot, humid note. I can take the heat but the humidity makes for a miserable work day. This has been the week for Houdini pigs. Now anyone that's been around pigs (or reading my newsletters for very long) probably understands that it's relatively hard for a pig to disappear but when they do it's probably not a good thing. About 2 weeks ago I decided to turn out a newly weaned grouped of pigs onto pasture. Now as luck would have it, the fence had shorted out elsewhere and left this particular paddock with out any charge. Now, much like leaving the backdoor open at a daycare, it's only a matter of time before the kids are exploring the back yard. Now the larger problem is that once a pig learns to slip through the fence they tend to want to repeat this from time to time. I have dealt with this problem with pigs before but this group seems to have developed "superpowers" that have allowed them to repeat the escape regardless of how much electricity is on the fence. This new found power has opened the door to a world of adventure they never new existed. So far they have visited all of the other pigs, the beehives (luckily no damage to pigs or bees), the creek, the rabbits, the sheep, the barn, and the cows. Each day when I feed there is no telling where they will show up. I just ride around with their bucket of feed until they are located and feed them there. Hopefully they don't turn up in the garden or at the neighbor's house. If they do, I guess we'll run a special on BBQ pigs.......

One more week of school and I'll have my full-time summer help (Rosty & Charlie) around all day long so I'm sure there will be lots of interesting stories to share.

Everyone has been asking & it's finally time to take a smoke break!!! That's right, this weekend we will be restocked on our smoked goodies. Smoked Chops, Smoked Polish & Andouille, Smoked Bacon, Maple Breakfast Links, Mild Italian Pinwheels, & Salted Fatback

Pepperonis and Hot Sopressata Salamis are back too!!!

This Week's Special- Pork Spare Ribs - Buy 2 packs get 1 Free!!! Get'm while they last!

Davidson Farmers Market- (8-noon) Come load up on yummy WTF meats and fresh free range eggs!!!

Salisbury Farmers Market-(7-noon)- Don't risk missing out on what you want - email us your order and Domisty will have it ready to pick up at the market just make sure you put in the email that it's for pick up at SFM.

Elizabeth Farmers Market- We will not be at Elizabeth this weekend! if you want to place an order email us (by replying back to this email) and I'll send it with John the Mushroom Man.
