A Thanksgiving feast isn’t quite complete without a turkey — but this year, why not go the extra mile? Instead of grabbing a frozen bird from the supermarket, consider a fresh, locally raised turkey from a nearby farm.
Whether you’re roasting, smoking, or bravely deep-frying your bird, these local farms offer pasture-raised options that bring homegrown flavor to your holiday table.
