"The
turkey, the most important item of the day, is really handled the
least. We buy the turkeys, as well as our chickens, Muscovy ducks
and quail, from Stone Church Farm located in the Hudson Valley. Robert
at Stone Church raises all of his birds naturally and they are killed
to order. The turkeys that I prefer average at about 18 lbs. I believe
that this size turkey offers a good flavor and the size of the breast
meat gives a good yield."
