Now Accepting Orders for Farm Fresh Thanksgiving Turkeys

Gobble gobble. I know it’s only early October, but for a farm-to-table Thanksgiving, it’s time to start thinking about THE TURKEY.

Our turkeys are a traditional "white" breed. They are free roaming turkeys that run around the pasture and forage for bugs A LOT. They are fed an organic soy-free turkey feed, which contains a specially formulated blend of corn, wheat, peas, barley, fishmeal, flax seed, kelp, and a nutri-balancer which has kelp, vitamins, and minerals.

Our turkeys come fresh, vacuum sealed and never frozen, processed within one week of delivery. They are all-natural - no antibiotics, no hormones, no artificial flavors, no colors, no synthetic ingredients, no preservatives.... nothing added (and, woah, can you believe that much stuff goes into other turkeys?).

It’s been a tough year for raising turkeys. The weather in the farmer’s area has been either super hot and sunny or really, really wet. This are not good conditions for producing large turkeys. They will still be tasty and nutrient-dense but likely on the small side.

The farmer wants to give you a heads up that we won’t know how big the turkeys will be until the beginning on November. Although we are taking orders for turkeys up to 18 lb, they may not reach that size.

If you do order a large turkey and the farmer cannot provide it, the farmer will personally give you a call to discuss the options. Perhaps you’d prefer the largest bird possible or two smaller birds.

We have officially opened turkey sales! Turkey orders are due before November 4 at midnight.

Our turkeys are $6.20 per pound and come in 3 size groups: 8-10 lbs, 11-13 lbs, and 14-18 lbs. 

How do you figure out how big of a turkey you need? A good rule of thumb is 1 lb per person, or 1.5 lbs per person if you want leftovers. You can even buy two smaller turkeys. Serve one at Thanksgiving dinner, and roast the second one for leftovers!

To order a turkey, all you need to do is add your Whole Fresh Turkey to your next order.  We will partially charge the order and charge you for the rest once we know the exact weight of your turkey.

Egg yolk changes. We were greenwashed and are furious! Here's the scoop.

If you've followed our blog for some time, then you know that I do a good amount of muckraking on the food industry - conventional, organic, or otherwise. But, this week, I need to rake the muck on us (more specifically on our corn & soy free eggs)! Here's the scoop and everything you need to know about us formulating a new feed with a trusted source.

The lengths us natural foodies go through for healthy indulgences.

Just because you eat "healthy", doesn't mean that your food tastes bad (in fact, I find that it's quite the opposite with real nutrient-dense ingredients). And, just because you eat "healthy" doesn't mean that you don't indulge once in a while. You with me?I mean, I can't be the only crazy one out there that spends many joyous hours in the kitchen making much healthier versions of well-know brand name snacks for my kids. This week I made Mallomars. I recently took up donut making. And, in the past I've experimented with homemade Oreos, Cheez-Its, chocolate truffles, potato chips, and so much more. When my kids eat them and report that they're better than the storebought stuff they're had at parties and friends' houses... I mean... there's really no better compliment 🤭I know these foods aren't "healthy". But, by having ultimate control over my ingredients, I can make sure to use grass-fed A2/A2 dairy, einkorn or spelt flour, good saturated fats like butter or ghee or lard, and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. And plus, no crazy additives or preservatives or flavors or colors, too. This week I have an easy healthy indulgence for you... that doesn't require hours in the kitchen.A few weeks ago, a local bee farmer stopped by the farm. He gave us samples of his amazingly delicious creamed honey. My mind automatically said, "Yes!!!" Finally, a quick and healthy treat for my family.*In case you didn't know, creamed honey is honey that's vigorously whipped until it's creamy and white. And then, you can flavor it however you'd like.I'm happy to introduce to you 2 NEW RAW CREAMED HONEYS: Cinnamon Raw Creamed Honey: A delicious alternative to jam. Goes well on any crackers, bread, pancakes, and even on mashed sweet potatoes! It can also be used as a glaze on meats or to sweeten your yogurt or oats.Whole Lemon Raw Creamed Honey: A lovely replacement for any frosting on anything baked. Think drizzled on muffins, scones, pancakes…and of course, like all our honey, just by itself for a sweet little dessert. It can also be used as a glaze on meats or to sweeten your yogurt or oats. These honeys are 100% up to our standards. They're raw and unfiltered, GMO and pesticide free, never fed corn syrup, and all that good stuff. Do you have any healthy indulgences? Do you make them of buy them? I'd love to hear from you! Comment below or contact us.
