LadyBird Farm

Yummy Turkey

By: John Engel (Sep 22, 2009)

Last year we devoured 5 of Jamie's turkeys. They were nothing like the mega-farm things you buy in the super markets. All that fat under the skin in the mega-farm turkeys was non-existent. in these birds. The meat had substance instead of the soft, mushy meat of the store bought brands. We are buying 10 this year and even added an extra freezer to keep them. Jamie raised a smaller bird last year. This year, she added a new, bigger breed. We can't wait to eat these homegrown, local, freerange, trukeys. It feels good to support a small entrepeneur instead of a giant box store that takes our money outside the area.

Well, we had another one of Jamie's fabulous turkeys yesterday.....only problem was, it caused an argument between my husband and I.......we couldn't agree which was the best turkey, this or the last one! We decided we needed another one to make up our minds......so you can imagine his surprise when I told him Jamie was going to freeze me one at the end of the year.......and she didn't want a deposit or anything. That is unheard of down here in Detroit! I just hope I get up to Bay City before that, because I can't wait that long. A 15 pound turkey not only fed my husband and I....but my grandson told his cousins gramma was bringing home a fresh turkey, so I had 3 teenage boys......and we know how they eat....also my grand daughter my daughter, and of course me. I was getting scared, as I saw them filling their plates and coming back for seconds......there goes my turkey croquettes, turkey soup, hot turkey sandwiches, turkey pot pie, munchie turkey, and all the other good things to make with left overs.......but as usual, there is more meat on Jamie's turkeys than the injected "for flavor" turkeys they sell in the store. So I had turkey for lunch, and hot turkey sandwiches for dinner. Thank you Jamie for another wonderful meal.......and I hope to see you soon.

Well, drove up from Detroit, my sister took down Jamie's phone number. I picked up my turkey on Tuesday and we just got done eating it today. The farm was a pleasure, seeing the turkeys walking around, some even got loose. Jamie was very pleasant and had my turkey ready and waiting.......but enough about my adventure. In these hard times, I have to admit....I thought hard about spending the money.....but let me tell you, it was the best money I ever spent! It's like going from hamburger to filet mignon. I haven't had a fresh turkey since I was little and my uncles still had farms. The memories it brought back. Some may not be as lucky as I was, never experienced a fresh turkey, no injection of "flavor", no bred for white meat, no fake taste. If you've never had that experience in your life.......you have to at least once. You'll never be able to eat a processed, caged, injected, antibiotic fed turkey again. Jamie has a customer for life!
