Just in time for Turkey Day, the LocalHarvest website has powered up a tool that will help you track down a fresh bird from a farmer in your area. The types of turkeys you might find include free range, organically raised and even some heirloom varieties. It depends on the farmers in your particular location. The site also has a special page to help your find other Thanksgiving products including cranberries and geese.
Why Buy Local?
The Buy Local movement aims to take us beyond the promise of environmental responsibility that the organic movement delivered, and awakening the US to the importance of community, variety, humane treatment of farm animals, and social and environmental responsibility in regards to our food economy.
