Broad Breasted White Turkeys


Thanksgiving is coming soon. Fall is in the air, and I am craving things like yams with pecans and pumkin soup. Lovely time of the year, and it is when American cuisine is possibly at its' most original and delicious!

These turkey are Broad Breasted White Turkeys the most common of farmed turkeys. We do not have turkey ourselves but many farmer's make a lot of money on thanksgiving turkeys, especially rare breeds.

Does anyone have any advice on raising turkeys? What are your favorite breeds?

Cows and Calves On Pasture!


I have decided to launch a new blog.

Here I will chronicle rural New York with thoughts, photographs and some recipes.


My food blog has become a success and I would like to branch out more and talk specifically about farming.

My hope is to inspire, teach and advocate about the glory but also the complexity of growing food.

This blog is still in
development but if you have any advice or suggestions please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for stopping by!
