Regarding regrets

Thank you all for visiting our blog! I am so sorry to inform you that we are all sold out of turkeys and pork at this time. It has recently come to my knowledge that we are in the Minneapolis St Paul Magazine this month and so I am sure we are going to get some visitors to this blog (which my the way, is not getting the attention it needs from me because my camera is broken and photos are what keep me blogging). Please send me an email so I can get you on our list for next year. Although April is early to begin thinking TURKEY it is when we begin taking orders and accepting deposits. Just think, you can reserve your heritage bird in April and all your thoughts can be clear until November! Rest assured your bird is in good hands and will be ready for you to do what you will with... I will be sending out an email regarding the birds and our pick up drop off plans in April and, again, would love for you to be on our list. We will be increasing our numbers slightly next year but only to about 50 as we believe that they should be raised humanely and any more than that would make us sacrifice some of our qualities which include things like roosting space and barn space (which played a huge hand during the flooding this year). We know that we are raising a quality product and are unwilling to sacrifice quality for quantity. We also want you to recognize that in ways of quality is our "quality of life" that we deserve as farmers and the turkeys deserve as our livestock. We strive on keeping everything manageable.

On another quality of life note, we had a generous gentleman order a turkey from us with the request that we give it to a family in need and send him the bill. If this is something that you would ever wish to do we would be most gracious to partake in that order. Perhaps you would like to donate a certain amount towards their turkey but cannot make the entire order, we will work that out amongst folks that are willing to donate. If everybody this year were to offer an additional $10 we could've served about 5 families with a great turkey and will increasing our numbers to 50 birds next year we would do even more. Just something to think about. We will also join in the fund and then we can all feel that much better about the meals we are eating.

As we grow a certain amount of vegetables here we are also thinking about offering a Thanksgiving package which would include things like sage, potatoes, garlic, and other common Thanksgiving amenities. If this sounds good to you, we would love some feed back. Thank you for visiting our blog and please, drop us an email so that we can get in touch with you early next year!
