11 Western New York Farms To Get Your Thanksgiving Turkey
Thanksgiving is coming soon! I know...Halloween isn't even over yet. But if you want a fresh local turkey, now is the time to order it.
By now, you've probably seen that there is a turkey shortage. It feels like every year around this time you start to see national stories about how the price of turkey is about to go up and how it's going to be tough to get your hands on one. It's kind of forcing people to secure their turkeys a little earlier than normal.
Luckily for us, there are a lot of farms around Western New York that are already taking orders for turkeys right now.
The best part about it is that you know what you're getting from a local farm. If you are unsure, it's simple enough just to ask the farmer. They are normally raised in much more humane conditions and you might find them to be much more flavorful than the ones from a store. If you get yours from a grocery store, you never know what they've pumped into them.
Here's the only problem...they really do go quickly from local farms. If you want to get in on buying a fresh, local turkey from a farm here in Western New York, now is the time to get your order in.
