Catch Up Time

Is it really December?

Wow!

Where did the year go?

This has been a challenging year in a lot of ways.  I have not kept up with updating the Facebook page, posting blogs & posting pictures & for that I am sorry.  I really had hopes of doing a better job with the website & other social media outlets.  There's always next year......

Well, turkeys have come & gone again this year.  As always, a big thank you to our customers new & old who continue to support us with buying holiday turkeys.  We had several new customers this year.

Here is an email I received after Thanksgiving:

Dear Menius Family,

Just wanted to let you know how delicious our turkey was at dinner!!! So moist & tender!!! The whole family enjoyed your turkey!! So looking forward to turkey sandwiches tomorrow!!!

Can we order a Christmas turkey now?!!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!!



It always does us good to receive these emails & Facebook comments from you all.

It has also been a refreshing break to have a few Saturdays off from the Farmer's Market during the fall & winter months.

Davidson is operating on a every other Saturday schedule.  The Salisbury Market is open but we will not be there again until December 22, 2012 from 9 to noon.


We had a pleasure to take part in the 2nd Annual Carolina Meat Conference held in Bermuda Run, NC on Monday & Tuesday of this week.  Not only were we sponsors but Lee participated as a moderator & on a panel.

It is always nice to reconnect with farmer friends & meet new farmer friends.

The Keynote Speaker on Monday night was Temple Grandin.  She not only is an Animal Science Professor at Colorado State University, an author & creator of humane slaughter designs but she also has a personal story with autism

urr meal was provided by The Blind Pig from Asheville, NC.

Stay Tuned for the link to the pics from that event.



WTF News- November 30th

Wild Turkey Farms News- Nov 30

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  

After a busy summer, things are finally starting to quiet down a bit at the farm now that all of the turkeys and most of the chickens are gone for the season.  It's  the time of year that we enjoy a little bit of a break around the holidays before getting geared up for spring.  We're kicking around lots of new ideas for WTF next year so you can probably look for us to send out a survey to see how some of these ideas sound to you.



Davidson Farmers Market 9-11:20 (this Saturday is the Davidson Christmas Parade so we plan on cutting out a lil early to avoid the road closures)


No Salisbury Farmers Market this weekend.  We'll be back the weekend before Christmas
