How to Pre-Order Holiday Turkeys

posted on

September 28, 2025

Good morning,

Autumn announces her arrival in subtle ways, which register only in hindsight. It is not the noticing that is slow, it is the remembering that change is coming.

The first cue is an empty brooder, where we raise the baby chicks, who arrive every week, shaping the rhythm of our week. Slowly in September the brooder begins to empty as new chicks no longer arrive. From one day to the next that area of the farm goes from bustling to quiet. Winter is coming, the cool morning stillness seems to whisper.

I joke with anyone who will listen that this means change is on her way, and yet I'm still surprised that our Holiday Turkeys arrived this week. Another sign that fall is here.

Some Notes about Holiday Turkeys

We will likely sell out of Turkeys by Thanksgiving and now is a great time to secure your bird if you're looking for a holiday turkey.

Don't have space for a turkey yet?

If you would like to reserve your bird, and are not quite ready to take delivery you can select a delivery date up to 6 weeks in the future. Here's a picture of where in the check out process you can do so.


Click on "Delivery Details" indicated by the BLUE arrow. This drops down more delivery options. Then select your preferred delivery date from the drop down menu shown by the RED arrow.

Please consider filling up your box with more than just a turkey, we can usually fit up to 40 lbs of frozen meat in one box!

What Does Cold Look Like on the Farm?

The outside thermometer read -10F this morning as the sun was rising. The wind was gusty last night and I was eager to check on the animals this morning. I stoked the wood stove in our living room and poured myself some nettle/mint tea and admired the sun's glow on the mountain tops to the west.

2025 a Year in Review

Thank you to all the many people who responded to my email last week with their own thoughts on what to bring into the new year. I am inspired by the the intentions, opportunities and kindness.

Your New Butcher's Cut

I love to teach and to learn. Since I was little, both have been a way of life for me. When we started our farm now more than 12 years ago, we sold a few beef and pigs by the "whole" or "half" and I learned to be the butcher.
