What? Thanksgiving turkeys? There’s snow outside!
I know, I know, but Spring is coming and we at Kuska Wiñasun Homestead are going to be raising pastured, GMO free, heritage turkeys this year. We are in the planning stages right now, and in order to more accurately prepare for next Thanksgiving we want to gauge your interest in ordering your family’s turkey from our small farmstead in North Carolina’s Triad.
This could be your Thanksgiving turkey!
These birds will be raised OUTSIDE, on pasture, where they will act like turkeys, forage and eat insects, acorns and non-GMO grains. They will breath fresh air, drink fresh water, and live a happy life free of antibiotics and hormones. They will be humanely harvested, with dignity, and will make a one of kind centerpiece on your Thanksgiving table.
Heritage turkeys are different than your typical turkey from the supermarket. They have more dark meat, more flavor, and take longer to grow. They are not bland, but instead have a rich flavor more like their wild ancestors than like chicken.
We expect to have birds available weighing 8-16 lbs. in November.
Reserve your Heritage Turkey Today!
Ordering Information
If you would like to reserve your turkey now, which is recommended, email us at ourochreway@gmail.com and let us know!!!
If you reserve now, there will be a $15 deposit. This locks in the price of your bird at $4.99/lb. The rest is due when you pick up your turkey in November.
For example: You reserve a turkey for $15. You then pick up your 10 pound turkey. 10 lb. @ $ 4.99/lb = $49.99. $49.99 – $15 = $34.99 due at pickup.
If there are any turkeys available in November that have not been reserved, we will sell them at $6-$8/lb. By ordering and reserving your turkey in advance, you not only help us order the correct number of birds, but you experience significant savings as well!
Think of it like a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), only with turkeys. A CST… Community Supported Turkeys!
You will be able to pick up your turkey in Greensboro, at times and places to be determined, or at our homestead in Stokes County, by appointment.
If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to ourochreway@gmail.com, or better yet, leave a comment if you think your question might be relevant to other people.
Soon we will be setting up an email list specifically for Thanksgiving turkey orders. This email list will allow you to keep tabs on your turkey through updates and pictures!
We will also be updating you soon via our website and facebook.
