I originally purchased 24 chickens in July (2009) from Becca's farm and ordered 2 turkeys. The chickens are the tastiest most tender birds I have ever eaten. I have 3 children - 2 are living on their own - so we have been going through the chickens pretty fast. So, I ordered another 20 to pick up with my turkeys. The turkey I cooked for Thanksgiving was like nothing I have ever tasted - a rich meaty flavor, tender, no dryness in the white meat. Just a completely different species than what is available in the store. They are expensive, but they are worth it. I would never buy another "manufactured" turkey or chicken after eating these.
It feels good to support a local farm as well. These folks know how to grow fowl. We took a tour of the place and the birds are obviously healthy and happy - running around all over the place. They run to greet you when you go into the yard.
After living in cities all my life, this is an enriching experience.
