Kilby Ridge Farm Products for 9/29 - 8/2

I have had many requests to put up our own list of products available for the week as the produce is changing weekly now. Please think about reserving one of our Heritage Narragansett turkeys soon. I will be posting more about them later this week (with some great photo's).

Turkey growth has been outstanding this year and we will have some birds close to 20 pounds!!

The farm store is open between 10 am - 5 pm Wednesday - Saturday. You do not need to be a buying club member to pre-order any of our products. We can also do mail order within the state of Maine for our ducks, chickens and turkeys. All of our heritage birds are Maine State Inspected and are processed by the COOP in Monmouth, Maine.

We are starting to take deposits for our Heritage Narragansett turkeys. We have a final count of 45 for this year. Price per pound is $6.00. Please specify weights - 8-10 lbs, 11-14 lbs 15 - 18lbs.

Deposits are $25.00 per turkey. We were sold out by October of last year so place your order soon. These turkeys were the first breed ever developed in the US - 17th century in Rhode Island from the Eastern Wild Turkey and the Spanish Black. The flavor is probably the best of all the heritage turkeys we have tried. We hold one of the few remaining flock of breeders in the US (there are only about 300 breeding adult Narragansetts in the US).

Please reserve them early as we were sold out by October of last year.

All of our turkeys are hatched here on the farm from eggs laid by our breeding flock started in 2007. We do not source any of our poultry from hatcheries after the first year of raising them on our farm. We keep only the best for breeding stock whether it be turkeys, chickens or this year it is ducks.

Buy local . . . . eat well.
