PrintTalking Turkey
Nothing says Thanksgiving like turkey, so why not ensure that the most honored guest at your annual feast is the best turkey you can buy? Fresh, local turkey might just be the best, particularly if you like the flavorful meat of a pasture-raised, heritage breed bird.
Thanks to our region’s rich agricultural resources and the many small farms that keep our farming industry alive, WNYers have their pick of the crop when it comes to tasty poultry. We’ve provided this list to you in October so that you can claim your bird early—they go very quickly, so call and make arrangements with your favorite turkey farmer today.
