Most are sufficiently removed from the farm setting that having an animal one day and not having it the next is not part of the reality of eating a nice meal that includes meat. For our 10 heritage breed turkeys and some of our stew hens the coup de grâce is now a fate accompli! Karen vows no more turkeys. They become too much a part of us and it’s too hard to part with them…

We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and don’t forget to give thanks for the turkey!
