Have you bought your Turkey yet?
This year, Harvie has two PA farms offering Turkeys. Clarion River Organics (Schmucker Family Farms) and Sensenig Farms. Read on to decide which one to buy!
Organic, pasture-raised turkeys from Clarion River Organics, Sligo PA
Schmucker Family Farms has been raising 150 birds over the last six months for Harvie members. These pasture-raised birds forage on grubs & greens and are let outside to wander and forage during the day and brought back inside at night- the image above is from this years Schmucker Family Farms birds! They’ve been finished off with some Organic Butternut squash that was also grown by Schmucker Family Farms. Pasture-raised is generally hailed as the pinnacle way to raise animals.
Free-range turkeys from Sensenig Turkey Farm, Elizabeth Township PA
Sensenig Turkey Farm is a family-owned farm operating in eastern PA since 1948. Their free-range turkeys are raised in large, open-air barns. They are able to partake in natural behaviors like scratching and walking around since they are not confined to cages. Free-range turkeys come at a lower price point than pasture-raised and are an excellent choice for families who are looking for a healthier, more ethical choice than your typical grocery store turkey.
