It’s time! Time to start dusting off your serving platters and decorations, gathering your guest list and planning your holiday menu that is. And do you know where your turkey is coming from this year?
Our 100% organic, pasture-raised turkeys make for a memorable meal all year round, not just at Thanksgiving. That’s because we pride ourselves on doing things differently when it comes to raising turkeys here at Elmwood Stock Farm. Starting as poults (what baby turkeys are called) our turkeys are completely free-range and kept outdoors on pasture with shelters in the event of inclement weather. In addition to getting the opportunity to pick and root through the grass as they would naturally, we provide them with wholesome USDA-certified organic grains as a supplement without the use of antibiotics, GMO grains or synthetic chemicals. Raising turkeys organically in this manner is unfortunately uncommon due to the added expense but we know it’s worth it to deliver a far superior product for you and your family.
We are especially proud of our heritage turkeys which are truly unlike any other turkey you would find at the grocery store. We do also offer broad-breasted turkeys which, while similar to what’s available commercially at the supermarket, are leaps and bounds ahead in flavor. Here’s a helpful infographic that breaks down the differences between the two. Truthfully though, you can’t go wrong with either!
We love any opportunity to talk turkey. Back by popular demand, on our Instagram we’ve been sharing turkey facts and jokes each week leading up to Thanksgiving.
