Avalon Acres - Farm Fresh Turkey
Avalon Acres
We hope this post finds you well. We wanted to give you all an oppportunity
to support local farming as well as get a delicious Thanksgiving meal. Our
turkeys are fresh, local, farm raised on pasture with no junk, hormones, and
antibiotics... and tasty... They are broad breasted birds and you will find
they are juicer than commercial birds because they get exercise and have
intramuscular fat. They are also leaner and healthier for you and cook at a
lower temperature in 1/3 less cook time. If you have never had a fresh,
farm raised bird, you will not be disappointed. We have had rave reviews
over the past 5 years and they make that special once-a-year meal even more
special. You will receive giblets inside the bird as well as complete
cooking, brining and thawing instructions to help you make a perfect
centerpiece for your holiday table. See
http://avalon-acres.com/Farm/blog/default.aspx?id=16&t=Gobble-gobble for
more details.
Typically, you will want to order about 1-1/2 pounds of turkey per person
with leftovers. Birds will come frozen in the following sizes (all plus or
minus one pound):
12 (X-Small) = $48
14 (Small) = $56
16 (Medium) =$64
18 (Large) =$72
20 (X-Large) =$80
If you want a larger bird, please contact us and we can put you on a waiting
list. I will start looking around with all our Amish farmers and I usually
turn up a couple "Jumbos" and they will be sold per pound at $4.00/lb.
Turkeys raised by hand are more expensive to tend, not to mention the
enormous jumps in petroleum and corn prices. When we started raising
turkeys five years ago, feed was $7.00 per bag. Today a 50 lb bag of feed
is $12.50. A casual look around the internet and specifically, Heritage
Foods will show you that we really do try and provide the best quality for a
fair dollar. The 2007 prices from Heritage Foods shows their turkeys at
well over $10 per pound. All it takes is a $25 deposit and specify what
size you want. We prefer you e-mail us and inform us of your interest in a
turkey. Send your Turkey Request/Questions to:
mailto:far...@avalon-acres.com
We would like the $25 deposit mailed in within a week of your reservation.
When we receive it, your turkey will be secured. We don't want to sell out
and not have a reservation for everyone that wants one. The deposit is
non-refundable.
We will deliver turkeys on Sunday, November 23rd and collect the balance at
the following locations and times. These are subject to change, though we
are fairly confident they will not:
