Thanksgiving 2005
October 27, 2005
Hello, and welcome to our newsletter.
For those of us who love good food, half of the fun
is the passionate pursuit of exceptional flavor and
quality. The adventure of seeking out and trying new
culinary treats gives us great delight, especially
when our efforts are appreciated by family and
friends. Little wonder, then, that Thanksgiving is
the favorite holiday of so many. With good food,
gratitude and loved ones at the centerpiece, what's
not to love?
This year, we invite you to make LocalHarvest part
of your Thanksgiving meal, either through the
inclusion of locally grown foods, or by choosing
some unique ingredients grown by family farmers
elsewhere in the country. We have stuffed this
newsletter with savory ideas for your meal. Read on,
and bon appetit!

It's Turkey Time
If you are ready to consider moving beyond the usual
supermarket fare for your holiday turkey,

flavorful options. These include organic,
free-range, pastured, and/or heritage birds: all are
good, and we think you and yours will be more than
pleased with the difference.

Organic Cranberries: For a Real Thanksgiving
Like garnets in the sun, cranberries glow a
brilliant red on our holiday tables. Whether you
prefer yours jellied or sauced, cranberries provide
a sweet and tangy accompaniment to the richer foods
in the traditional meal. Creative cooks can also
include these little jewels into other holiday
treats - quick breads and jams, stuffing and pies.
cranberries can work with all kinds of ingredients
to accompany your holiday meals. Citrus, raspberry
vinegar, herbs, cinnamon, and other spices all work
with the astringency of the fruit to make versatile
flavors combinations.

LH Member Profile: Speckled Hen Farm
"I love my birds!" says Brooke Hayes-Lyman. What
started as a hobby a couple of years ago that took
her to the county fair has become a life purpose for
Brooke: to help preserve heritage breeds.
While currently raising ten kinds of chickens for
eggs and meat, she estimates the number in her
heritage turkey flock to be around a hundred. If you
ask, and if you call soon, she will put them on the
telephone as a gobbling choir of Narragansett and
Kardosh Bronze birds.
