Talking turkey.
November 19th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
Many of our CSA shareholders chose to purchase a Thanksgiving turkey through our online buying club, 4 Season Harvest. I thought I’d tell you a bit about LFFC turkeys, how they are raised and where they come from.
First, a bit about our 4 Season Harvest buying club. If you’re not aware of this program, you’re in for a pretty awesome surprise. 4 Season Harvest offers our CSA shareholders an opportunity to purchase supplemental items in addition to their regular CSA share delivery each week. This includes dairy, meat, egg and grain items as well as prepared foods. Your order will be packed and delivered on the same day your CSA share is delivered each week. If you’d like more information, visit the 4 Season Harvest section of our website, www.lancasterfarmfresh.com or e-mail our 4 Season Harvest Manager, Rick Shirk at 4seasonharvest@lancasterfarmfresh.com.
Kevin Tucker, Lancaster Farm Fresh Meat Buyer purchased all of the Certified Organic turkeys sold for our customers this Thanksgiving. The turkeys came from three farms, Springwood Organics, Spring Water Organics and Windy Hollow Organics. All of our Certified Organic turkeys are a breed called White Broad Brested and are raised without the use of hormones, and given only Certified Organic feed. All of our Certified Organic turkeys spend their days on pasture and are confined only at night for protection against predators or in cases of inclement weather. In the future, Kevin hopes to be able to offer our customers more heritage breed turkey options, so look out for them around holiday time in December!
If you’ve chosen to purchase a turkey from Lancaster Farm Fresh I certainly hope you enjoy it! To all of our CSA Shareholders and loyal wholesale customers, we wish you and your families a peaceful and happy Thanksgiving!
As always, I thank you for your support of our cooperative!
