Buying a farm-direct Thanksgiving turkey means knowing where your bird was raised and supporting a Florida farm with your holiday meal.
Many local farms offer pasture-raised, heritage-breed, fresh or frozen turkeys that are different from the birds commonly found in grocery stores.
Your purchase keeps more of your food dollars in Florida’s local economy and supports the farmers raising food for their communities.
Availability, processing methods, pickup dates and growing practices vary, so contact each farm directly with questions before ordering.
Turkeys take approximately four to six months to raise, so many farms begin accepting reservations well before Thanksgiving.
Some farms offer fresh pickup around processing day, while others offer frozen birds only. Deposits are a normal part of reserving a holiday turkey.
Farm-direct turkeys generally cost more than grocery-store promotional birds. Pricing reflects the cost of raising and processing poultry on a smaller scale.
Ask the farm about expected sizes, packaging, pickup instructions and recommended thawing time. Larger frozen birds may require several days to thaw safely.
Please complete payment and pick up your order promptly.
Thank you for supporting Florida producers!
