Raising a Better Turkey for Thanksgiving
| According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Americans eat about 46 million turkeys for Thanksgiving each year, the majority of which are conventionally raised Broad Breasted Whites. But for eaters who want to support local family farms, humane animal welfare, and environmentally sound agriculture, there are better and more flavorful alternatives at your local farmers market.
"We have a relationship with our birds," says farmer Norman Gunsell of Mountain Ranch Organically Grown, who can be found at the Ferry Plaza Famers Market on Saturdays. "For our family, this is the only way to do it. We are truly dedicated to supporting sustainable and certified organic farming." |
