Thanksgiving 2019

Goodbye, summer... Hello fall!
Picture
A brilliant blue sky, spice of Osage orange in the air, crisp crackle and snap underfoot, a fresh nip on the skin.  Ahhhh, autumn... a season for all senses! I love this gentle and gorgeous welcome to summer's end and fall's beginning as our trees sway in the cool breeze, blue jays head south, leaves change, and the approaching chill in the air comes with that homey smell of wood smoke.

It's amazing to watch the colors of autumn boldly replace summer petals with a riot of scarlet and gold.  Crisper air, warmer foliage...  here at the farm our lovely ancient oaks have strewn the paths with acorns crunching and rolling under our boots and brought out the squirrels to chatter and bicker loudly at the deer as they compete from acorn to acorn.  Fleeting groups of wild turkeys chuke-chuke-chortle over their shoulders as they slip through the woods into their hiding place.  Abundance blesses us all around.

This is also a time to focus on family and dear friends, taking time to reflect on our many blessings.  Enjoying gatherings full of big belly laughs, an abundance of amazing food, and meaningful memories. It's so nice to share our company and our favorite recipes, telling favorite stories with our favorite people.  This is my season!

​I don't know about you but I'm really looking forward to turkey this year!  We're hosting thanksgiving in our new house to a large crowd and it's very exciting for me.  We're planning the traditional turkey as well as a selection of several of our other hand-raised meats.  I've gathered a ton of our wild pawpaws for a delicious dessert and beautiful chestnuts from our neighbors tree to add to a special dish.   


If you're looking for meats this year, we are sold out of both our Broad Breasted White Turkey's and our Heritage Narragansett Turkeys.  However, we certainly have recommendations!  But act fast because supply is limited:

  • if you're looking for heritage turkeys raised the way we do it we encourage you to reach out to our dear friends Drew and Channa at Kinohi Poultry in Davidsonville, MD via their facebook page  or (443) 801-3909 .  They also harvest duck and quail if you're looking for something different. 
​​


​
  • If you prefer a butterball-type Broad Breasted White, our neighboring small farm in Accokeek, the Garcia Family, raises them on pasture just like we do.  Please email us at ChiefChick@Mooseherder.com for the Garcia Family contact info as they don't have a website.

From our home to yours we wish you a fantastic Thanksgiving!  Our sincere wish for you and your family is that both your heart and your belly are full!  Have a blessed holiday!
