Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions we get from customers.

Turkey FAQs

How do I order a turkey? +
Fill out our reservation form and submit it with a $40 deposit (cash or check). Once you send in your order, make sure we confirm it — please reach out if you don't get a confirmation. Sign up for our turkey mailing list below and we'll notify you when orders open for the season.
How much do your turkeys cost? +
Our pasture-raised turkeys are $8 per pound, based on the final dressed weight.
What sizes are available? +
Our turkeys typically range from about 10 to 28+ pounds. Smaller birds (under 14 lbs) are in very high demand and go quickly, so reserve early if you need a small turkey. We fill orders in the order they're received.
What breed are your turkeys? +
We raise broad breasted white turkeys. We do not raise heritage breeds — most customers prefer the broad breasted whites for how they dress out.
Are your turkeys fresh or frozen? +
Turkeys processed the weekend before Thanksgiving at our USDA processor are air-cooled and available fresh. Some turkeys are processed earlier in November and frozen — these are available for sale as well. Frozen turkeys are great for smoking and are available throughout the year while supplies last.
When are turkeys available? +
Fresh turkeys are processed at a USDA facility the weekend before Thanksgiving and are available for pickup by appointment during Thanksgiving week. Frozen turkeys are available throughout the year while supplies last — they're especially popular for smoking.
Can I get a turkey for Christmas? +
Yes! We typically have frozen turkeys available through December and beyond. If you want a specific size or prefer frozen, let us know — we can usually accommodate. Contact us to check current availability.
Do you sell live turkeys? +
No, all our turkeys are USDA processed before sale. We do not sell live birds.
Can you ship turkeys? +
No, we do not ship turkeys. All turkeys must be picked up at the farm by appointment.
When should I reserve my turkey? +
We start taking reservations in late summer/early fall. We recommend reserving as early as possible — especially for smaller birds, which are in very high demand.
Do you sell turkey parts like drumsticks? +
We occasionally have turkey drumsticks and other parts available. Contact us to ask about current availability.
Can I request a specific size? +
You can request a size range on the reservation form and we'll do our best to match it. However, we can't guarantee exact weights — nature doesn't work that way! We typically get within a pound or two of your request.
How are your turkeys raised? +
Our turkeys are pasture-raised with plenty of room to roam and forage outdoors. They're supplemented with locally sourced grain and raised without antibiotics or hormones. All birds are processed at a USDA-inspected facility.

CSA FAQs

When do CSA sign-ups open? +
Our 2026 CSA is full and we're only accepting renewals from returning members at this time. We start accepting new members in early spring each year, and the season typically starts in June, depending on weather. <a href='/contact/' class='text-blue-700 underline hover:text-blue-800'>Contact us</a> to be added to the waitlist for the 2027 season.
Can I skip weeks if I'm on vacation? +
Yes! If you need to skip a week (for vacation, etc.), those weeks get added to the end of your season. Just let us know in advance.
Can I customize the share percentages? +
The CSA percentages (50% meat, 30% vegetables, 20% eggs & special items) are a general guideline, not a rigid formula. Some weeks your share will be well over the average value, and some weeks a little less — it all balances out over the course of the season.
How much meat is in a weekly share? +
We aim for at least two types of meat per week. About $54 of each share's value goes toward pasture-raised meats including chicken, beef, and pork. The exact cuts and quantities vary week to week.
Do you offer a vegetarian CSA option? +
We have offered a vegetarian option in the past. Contact us to ask about availability for the current season.
Can I buy meat and produce without joining the CSA? +
Most of our meat and produce goes to CSA members, but we usually have some items available. Eggs are available 24/7 at our eggmobile. Outside of CSA season, contact us to see what's available.
Do you offer delivery? +
We offer home delivery for an additional $10 per week, subject to availability. Delivery availability is confirmed by April 10 each year. Otherwise, pickup is on Thursdays.
Can I buy a quarter or half cow? +
No, we don't currently sell beef in bulk quantities. Our meats are raised for and distributed through our CSA shares.

Eggs & Chicken FAQs

How do I buy eggs? +

Do you sell live chickens? +

General FAQs

Do you sell honey? +
