ORGANIC TURKEYS
by Pamela Lewy

It's Thanksgiving - turkey time! Perhaps the unsurpassed meal of the year, so when creating your own menu - do it right! Because foodies and turkey enthusiasts can never settle for an average, run of the mill turkey, we seek out only the finest and freshest birds around. We at Babbo think that organic turkeys taste the best. Hormone free and fed only quality organic grains, organic turkeys will provide a full-flavored Thanksgiving feast...guaranteeing minimal leftovers and maximum smiles.

Since 1991, Townline Farm Poultry Reserve has been raising several varieties of RARE HERITAGE TURKEYS, CHICKENS and GEESE. These fowl are naturally bred, hatched and sustainably pasture grazed. These are NOT just commercial birds that are field raised. Rare Heritage birds are self breeding and natural grazers. Their quality of taste and meat texture is far superior to their commercial cousins.
