Callister Family Farm

I guess I have to accept that summer is over now that we've received several inches of snow, 20 degree temps and howling winds out of the north! We're doing pretty good with winterizing and preparing the buildings and farm for winter conditions. There's just one group of broilers to process for the year, it'll be a good feeling when they're all processed and the freezer is full. Our biggest hurdle to finishing up is the turkey processing the few days before Thanksgiving. It's a marathon event for about a week with the grand finale taking place on Wednesday November 22nd at the St Paul Farmer's Market. About one third of our turkeys are picked up by customers on the Saturday before. We always hope for the weather to be cold enough to safely keep the fresh turkeys until they're picked up and not so cold that they begin to freeze. It's very satisfying to greet all of our customers and know that our family, thru the turkey is able to participate in their family celebration. There's still time to order your turkey.
