This week brings the final turkey processing of 2012. Happy news to all waiting for that Christmas turkey!
This is the cold one.... likely we will be processing in the rain and snow. However.... this year we have a fully enclosed temp shelter to work in! Woo hoo! Just blocking the cold wind goes a long way to making this more comfortable.... while standing in 30 degree weather under constantly running water. Its always amazing that the water... pouring out at a balmy 50 degrees actually feels warm after a few hours of work.
In the end its worth it! There is nothing like these wonderful turkeys.
The turkeys left will be our breeders, soon the start laying in January to launch the starts of year round turkey offerings!
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.
