As the oversized spider webs and skeletons are replaced by fall harvest decor, we turn our focus toward Thanksgiving. Are you hosting this year and need to order a turkey? We made some calls to local farms to collect all of the details you need to get your foul in time for your feast. All options listed below are hyperlinked to the farm websites for ease of ordering!

Dedicated Turkey Farms

There are a number of farms that specialize in raising turkeys. “Locally raised turkeys are carefully nurtured to allow a full finish to develop, making them tender and moist. This means there is no need to baste these turkeys--and they have a natural layer of fat under the skin.” (source: Mass.gov)
