Thanksgiving Turkeys
Our birds are 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 turkey is a wonderful holiday tradition and a superb way to support NCOF.

- This year, we are requesting a 2-pound weight range from each customer and matching up customers with their birds prior to pick up once we get a weight sheet back from the processor. Balances must be paid off before pick up on Tuesday, November 9 2:30-6:00 pm.
- Pick up veggies, pork, sausage for stuffing, and other farm treats to complete your meal.
- Deposits are nonrefundable.
- 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.
