You Gotta Try This Turkey
Soooo, I'm not much of a cook, but I knew I had to give it my all when Will Harris presented me with one of his turkeys from White Oak Pastures at Thanksgiving. We smoked it on the Big Green Egg and it was delicious. Can't wait to serve it again at Christmas!
These Free Range Bronze turkeys are roamers on the farm and are not subjected to antibiotics or added hormones. They have their own niche in the farm work force as grazers and fertilizers along with the large ruminant (cows) and small ruminant (sheep) animals.
Order your turkey now -- last day for shipping is Tuesday, December 21. The birds are available in three sizes: small (15 pounds or less) for $99, medium (16-20 pounds) for $120 and large (21+ pounds) for $140. Because the turkeys are raised in a natural setting, the farm cannot guarantee specific weights. There is an additional $30 flat-rate shipping fee on all turkeys (regardless of size). Free Range Bronze turkeys can be ordered online or by calling 229-641-2081.
