Our turkeys come from our dear friends Dave Perozzi and his family at Wrong Direction Farm in Canajoharie, New York. These turkeys live the life I would want to live as a turkey: ranging in pastures and hedgerows, searching for bugs, with comfortable places to roost and fresh air and sunshine aplenty.
This was one of those weeks that did not go as planned, which sometimes can be exciting. On the way out of the field, Terron was driving the tractor when all of a sudden it stopped running.
Moving a group of pigs is one of the more humbling jobs on a farm. Moving 70 of them, each approaching 300 pounds, across a road is the kind of thing that can go wrong in a hurry. This is the story of how our team member Terron did it calmly, by himself, with a hog cart and a few buckets of wild apples.
