Reviews for: Heritage Turkey Farm
Saying I don't dilute my honey with pcb's is just as truthful . . . See what I mean?
Keep up the good work and I wish you every continued success! ! !
BTW: I love raising / breeding turkeys. They are a fantastic bird! ! !
Second, do the math: this happens ONCE a year. For that one time, you should want to give your family and guests the very best that good, hard-earned money can buy. Calculate how many people...or, more appropriately, how many plates, will be served by that one bird! How much per plate is that? Less than $20 for a luxurious, indulgent, never-had-it-taste-this-good meal. And that's not counting left overs. AND...don't waste that carcass--add to some water with celery, carrots, onions, salt and pepper, and it will make the most phenomenal stock to use for soup now, or freeze for later. Heritage, especially organic heritage, is the best.
"Additional" math, pun intended--give up those fast-food drive thru meals, or unhealthy snacks, or chain-restaurant dine-outs for a month or two and put the savings toward your Thanksgiving bird--remember, add it to what you already would have budgeted to spend on the inhumanely raised, in-organic tasteless bird from the chain store supermarket. Suddenly you can afford what you blamed that hard-working farmer for overpricing.
It's called THANKSGIVING...and for you, if you choose to serve the very best, you will RECEIVE more thanks for your efforts and sacrifice than you ever received for this traditional meal before.

Political rant. Nothing said about the product or the farmer.

Hasn't actually eaten the product, just putting the farmer down. I'm all for free speech, but I think at least the product should be eaten and consumed. This person is just consumed with hate. I don't want this farm to have a nick like that.

It's unfortunate that we do have to pay high prices for quality foods. Not gourmet. Not imported. Just quality foods raised in a healthy environment by farmers and their families who care about what they and YOU put on your table. But as part of the 99% you do have a voice. Demand that commercial producers switch to organic, sustainable and above all healthy methods of providing us food. And if you think the farmers are making all the money...Go talk to the people at Jennie-O and ask what their bottom line is and what means they took to keep their costs down at the expense of your family's health.

Must we go to war over a review? I agree the price is high. But, this guy is probably barely breaking even. If you can't afford to have someone else do all the work for you, try doing it yourself and you will gain the knowledge of why the price is up there. I live in the country and raise my own turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese and vegetables. It's not cheap and it's a lot of work. I am not in the 1%. I raise as much of my own food as I can. My food is free-ranged, home-grown and processed by me. Therefore, my food is better than the "super-market" variety. I said better, not cheaper. No, I don't work, I'm retired after 41 years. My penmanship is not the best. Don't attack one another. Aim your anger at our government, who causes these prices to be high. High oil prices affect every item you use, wear, eat, etc.

Good Answer

Has nothing to do with the product being sold, just bitching about politics, not fair to the farmer.

I presume that this individual's inability to spell correctly, or to use appropriate language (please in the future note the difference between Their / There and Your / You're), and therefore an assumed inability to fill out an application for any job other than as a convenience store clerk or dog walker, provides ample free time to pen such ridiculous diatribes. Happy Thanksgiving!

I guess you have never ordered Prime Rib or Ribeye steaks.. Chuck Steak must be your choice.. Turkeys in stores are sold as "loss leaders" meaning they actually make no profit duing the promotion.. just to get you in their store.. In most cases you are paying less for a heritage turkey than a ribeye steak. Few farmers raise these turkeys and even less sell them.. If you have never tasted one.. you don't know what you are missing.

I'm sure this turkey is every bit as good as you say it is.but $130.00 for a 10-13 lb turkey is reasonable???!!!.Not in my universeI don't think the average or even above average person has a food budget that would allow this kind of purchase..even for a holiday..Is it just me or what??
