Turkey, Anyone?
Sharon December 14th, 2009
If you or anyone you know is looking to serve a heritage turkey over the holidays, and is looking for one in the New York Capital Region, we have a dozen turkeys that were too small for the table at Thanksgiving, but will be available after Friday. They are old breeds – Blue Slate, Black Spanish and Bourbon Red – raised on pasture, foraging for a large portion of their diet. We are not certified organic but they were fed organic feed to supplement their diet, and homegrown organic grains as well. We can probably deliver to central points in the Albany/Schenectady area. Price is $2.60 per pound - and most of the birds will be between 10 and 18lbs, with a few a bit bigger.
Email me if you are interested! We just ate the last of last year’s batch of turkeys, and it was utterly delicious – moister, richer tasting and just better.

Too bad I live in British Columbia:(
If only I were a little bit closer…
Oh, I wish I’d lived closer, too, to get one of those!

What are your charges for air freight to the UK?
Oh, I think I need one of these babies and then I will finally, actually get to meet you, after our unsuccessful attempts last year. Or was it the year before?
When and where?

Makes me wish I lived a LOT closer to you.
On the flip side, we’ve tried organic turkeys the last two Christmases, and apparently my system does not like them for some reason.
Even the broth made from the carcass disagreed with me. *sigh*
Hi Heidi – That sounds awesome, although you don’t have to buy a turkey unless you want one – we could get together some other way. I don’t really want to hold a turkey over your head

Uhhh…no, I actually WANT a turkey!! Especially one that I know had an excellent life. Sooo…? Where and when?

Actually, if I can come and get it I can bring the kids and they can meet your kids and they can play and we can see the farm. What do you think?

Heidi, that sounds lovely – do you have time this week? We’re probably more flexible than you, since we’re not doing Christmas. What’s your life like? Do you want to email me at jewishfarmer@gmail.com and we can work it out?

Wish I lived closer. I’ be there like a shot!
