No Thanksgiving Turkeys in 2008
Very unfortunately, we lost all our birds in a fire at the farm on August 23, 2008. There will be no turkeys for sale in 2008. See the 2007 turkeys live at the farm by watching this video: http://www.sciencefriday.com/videos/watch/49 Bourbon Reds are a slow-growing heritage breed of turkey, with a more pronounced flavor. We had one at our own Thanksgiving last year, and it was amazing! The breed originated in Bourbon County, Kentucky and the birds are able to fly! Our birds like to escape from their enclosure, but usually find their way back in. Bourbon turkeys are more expensive because they grow more slowly (they take about 6 months to mature, as opposed to 3 months for a White turkey) and require more time, effort, and feed to raise. They are $6.25 per pound and are likely to be smaller birds approx 8-14 lbs.
TURKEY TESTIMONIALS... “I just wanted to tell you that your turkeys were so incredibly delicious… Oh my gosh, they were so good! I am so glad you raise them. We felt very close to the turkey because it was yours, and we knew where it had been.” A.H. “The others are turkey impostors. This was like eating turkey for the first time. This is the turkey of all turkeys. Itwas eight and a half pounds of pure deliciousness!” R.W.
