2019 TURKEYS!
Our big boy Jacob, the Royal Palm heritage turkey, and his three girls produced fertile eggs like mad this spring. Our incubator was keep running full time, and produced some really nice poults to raise for this year.
Then, we had two setbacks. The first was the loss of our butcher at Crooked Shed Farms. She had decided that King County was too expensive for her to operate, and so she sold the meat processing equipment and is in the process of moving to eastern Washington!!! My top slot in turkey processing was gone, with no other options to get your turkeys done this year. I didn't find this out until we already had dozens and dozens of young turkeys running around the farm.
The second setback was that my back surgery didn't happen last winter as planned, and was scheduled for August. There was no way that I could be recovered soon enough to process all of those turkeys myself. So I made the hard decision, and decided to let another farm finish raising, processing, and selling my turkeys for me this year.
So I am referring you on. I hope to see you all back next year, as by then I'll be all healed up and the new processor will be up and running again -- we'll be better than ever!
In the meanwhile, give Christeena Marzolf a call to order your turkeys this year:
Her phone is 503-453-2575, and her email is FallingRiverMeats@gmail.com.
See you all next year!
