The description of this farm sounds wonderful, but don't get scamed like my family did. We paid $180.00 for one of their heritage turkeys for our family Thanksgiving. It was ordered on Nov. 7, and we picked the "ship now" option. Our order was for a 12-14 lb. bird. We started getting nervous about a week before Thanksgiving and no turkey had arrived. My mother left three messages at the contact number given, and no call back! We ended up having to go to the store and get another 14 lb. turkey (only $40), and brined that. My Mom finally gets ahold of Mr. Gregory the afternoon before Thanksgiving, he says the turkey will arrive at 6pm that night FROZEN! And says it will take 4 days to thaw. He then begins laughing and blames local harvest for the mistake. We ordered the turkey early specifically if it came frozen, we would have ample time to thaw it out. And on top of this, instead of one 14 lb. turkey, we received two 7 lb. birds. What a scam! Get more info on this farm through Yelp, and read the other horror stories.

I am very sorry this client choose to make ststements that never happened. I was only contacted once the day before Thanksgiving. I explained that the birds were shipped UPS second day air on Monday and were to arrive by 6 :00p.m. that day. I never laughed at anything and stated that the birds were shipped frozen. So it should be thawed when it arrived. This was our second year shipping turkeys and I can assure you it will be our last. No one needs this when all we were trying to do was help someone acquire an organic turkey. Our turkeys sold for $100.00 -$120.00 not $180.00 as stated. Because I am not computer literate I just found out today this was on the site. I had another prospect inform me of this review on this site. We at "R" Farm raise the best quality food possible and stand behind it 100%.
