Discover the Best Places to Buy Fresh Farm-Raised Turkeys in New Jersey for Thanksgiving
Our turkey from Lee Turkey Farm last Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is a time of celebration, family, and, of course, delicious food. What better way to ensure a memorable feast than by choosing a locally raised, farm-fresh turkey? Many farms in New Jersey pride themselves on offering pasture-raised turkeys, allowing them to graze naturally on grass, which is the ideal situation for a healthier and tastier bird. The Farm Girl and her family always get their turkey from a local farm, and I think you should too!
