Adirondack Harvest Member Farms Selling Turkey’s for the 2024 Holiday Season:

Cook Family Farm, Owls Head, NY

“Whole frozen turkeys, raised on pasture and processed humanely on our farm.”

Harmony Hills Farmstead, Malone, NY

“Our turkeys are not given antibiotics or growth hormones as they are naturally healthier and disease-free living on our chemical-free pasture instead of being condemned to the usual poultry confinement housing. Because our turkeys have constant access to the outdoors and their traditional diet of greens and insects, they are higher in essential omega-3 fatty acids and lower in saturated fat. We process our own turkeys on our farm ensuring the best quality that we can give to our customers.”

Mace Chasm Farm, Keeseville, NY

“These pastured beauties will be ready for pick-up the week of Thanksgiving! Your Turkey and giblets will be fresh upon pick-up – ready to prepare for your Harvest Celebration!”

Serenity Acres Farm, Ogdensburg, NY

“All naturally raised beef, chicken and turkeys. No growth hormones, pesticides or herbicides.”

Moonstone Farm and Forest, Saranac Lake, NY

“We are offering either a fresh or frozen option for turkeys again this year. Fresh turkeys will be harvested on Wednesday, November 27th and ready for pick up after 5pm. Frozen will be available for pickup beginning Monday, November 25th.”

Woven Meadows Farm, Saranac, NY 

“Woven Meadows raises free-range, pastured, organic-fed turkeys, perfectly timed for your Thanksgiving feast… by free-ranging turkeys receive more exercise, which seems to make for a denser meat which better retains moister while cooking, and overall is more flavorful…Like our chickens, we process our turkeys here on the farm… We aim to butcher on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, to allow pick-up of fresh turkeys for your holiday meals.”

Other Local Farms Offering Holiday Turkeys:

Wrong Direction Farm, Canajoharie, NY  via Reber Rock Farm, Reber, NY

“Our Pasture Raised Turkeys are raised on pasture with daily moves by our friends at Wrong Direction Farm in Canajoharie, NY. They live their life as a turkey should, pecking the ground for grass and grubs and chasing grasshoppers. And they are juicy and flavorful! For more information on how Wrong Direction Farm raises their turkeys check out this video. A note about Organic. Wrong Direction Turkeys will not be labeled as organic in 2023. Dave let us know a few weeks ago that his processor lost their organic certification due to some paperwork issues. Wrong Direction Farm is still certified organic, the turkeys are certified organic, but the frozen, processed bird cannot be called organic since the processor is not certified.”
