Turkey Ordering begins September 23, 2024 at 10:00 AM for Farm Members. We will open up to the general public on October 21.
Our turkey is juicy, flavorful, and sold fresh. We’ve been told they’re some of the best around! Purchasing one of our tasty, local, pasture raised Thanksgiving turkeys is a wonderful holiday tradition and a superb way to support NCOF. We are also selling several other products in our Thanksgiving Pre-Sale, including cranberries from Old Earth Orchards, Mushrooms from Fat Moon Farms, dried flower wreaths, honey, and more! Order all at once and pick up along with your turkey on Tuesday, November 26, 2024.

- Turkeys will be distributed fresh (not frozen) Tuesday, November 26 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM
- Customers will receive a time window to pick up their birds to reduce having to wait in line.
- To brine or not to brine, that is the question. Some of our customers swear by brine; others don’t. A quick internet search will provide many cooking options.
- Whichever method you choose, we highly recommend using a digital thermometer to avoid overcooking your bird. NCOF birds cook more quickly than ones from the supermarket.
- The USDA Website has information on how best to safely prepare your turkey, and operates a Turkey Hotline around Thanksgiving each year. Find more information here: https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2021/11/17/keep-your-thanksgiving-full-turkey-and-free-foodborne-illness
