These legendary birds are pasture-raised and grow up foraging in the field. Now that’s what we call living your best life.
- 1 whole turkey, 13-14 lbs, delivered frozen, giblets and neck inside (let’s make gravy!)
- No antibiotics or hormones
- Pasture-raised with additional feed of local non-GMO corn and roasted soybeans
- Your item will be ready the week after your order is placed. If you are a Local Roots member, this item will be included in next week’s regular weekly harvest. Of course, the exact day will depend on your regular Local Roots market or delivery day. You will also receive a confirmation email specifying the date of pickup or delivery after purchase.
The Problem
A dirty Thanksgiving secret: turkeys that have been previously frozen then thawed for the store do not have to be labeled as "previously frozen". When temperatures get too chilly, ice pokes holes in the cell membranes of the turkey. Thanksgiving turkeys at the supermarket could be 6 months old!
Our Food Fix
We partner with thoughtful farmers who raise their turkeys for maximum flavor. Being pasture-raised means turkeys actually spend time outside (crazy!) where the majority of their food comes from the bugs and grass they freely forage. This natural diet leads to a healthy lifestyle so that antibiotics and hormones are never part of the process. All of this results in a tender and juicy centerpiece for your Thanksgiving celebration.
What Locals Are Saying...
"Truly the best, freshest thanksgiving turkey we’ve ever bought. We were always surprised in the past that even farmers-market birds had been previously frozen . This bird was the best, and tastiest, ever. Will be ordering (and ordering early) every year.”
