Where to get a pasture-raised turkey for Thanksgiving

There is still time to reserve your holiday bird

Every year it feels like Thanksgiving just creeps up on us and we panic as we rush to organize the large holiday meal and all the arrangements of entertaining. If you are like me, you might have waited too long to get a farm-fresh turkey versus the frozen commercial brand in our grocery stores. Fortunately, there are a few places that still have turkeys available and waitlist options. Here is our guide to finding a Thanksgiving turkey this year. We will update when we hear of more turkeys available. –Justin Burke-Samson
