Fox Hollow Farm

Fox Hollow Farm in Gaithersburg is a pretty nice place. The owners are very nice people and are willing to show you around and let you see how they run their farm. However, we got a fresh turkey this year for the first time and boy were we in for a surprise. We haven t cooked it yet (in about 8 hours we will be), but that s not what I m talking about. We had to put a $10.00 deposit down in May or June when the turkeys were just chicks. So, I figured we d pay a little more than in the grocery store, but we were in for a shock. When I picked the bird up the other day it was really fresh (slaughtered just hours before). When they rang me up I heard $27.00 more, so $37.00 for a locally raised organic bird I thought I could deal with. When I got the receipt and saw that the woman said $77.00 I almost passed out. $87.00 was over the top. I almost went back in and told them to put the feathers back on and take their turkey back. Anyway, here s hoping this is the best dang turkey ever. The dog won t be getting a bite and I told my kids if any of it hits the floor, pick it up and eat it. Just be warned...
