Turkey time

I got a 16-pound pasture-fed turkey and half of a much bigger one (cut down the middle) on Tuesday from Freeman Homestead. They deliver twice a month at a location in West Seneca and offer chickens, ducks, pork, and beef, as well as turkeys at Turkey Time.

To see their blurb on the Eat Wild web site, click on the link in this post and scroll down. The entries are alphabetical. Another farm in the list that we have bought from is Honeyhill Farm in the Fingerlakes region. Their chicken is amazing, too. Honeyhill has NOFA organic certification.

The Freeman folk are friendly and helpful, and their meat is excellent. The prices are competitive with other artisan sellers but much higher than supermarkets. The difference is, I want to eat their meat and cannot stand the garbage that the chains sell. As for price, a meal at a fast food place, for two, is the same price as I pay for a pasture-fed whole chicken or a pound of steak or a roast.
