Will keep you posted. I am not paid in any way to make this comment. I’m sure Trader Joe’s will have some cheap ones too, though they do’t arrive until Nov. 13. Will keep you posted.

DiPaola's Turkey Farm has been taking orders for free-range turkeys for $2.99 per pound at the Grand Army Plaza and Cortelyou Road farmers market.Try ordering by phone (609-587-9311). They're located in New Jersey. The Times did a piece on this in 2007: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/11dinenj.html Here’s where local farmers markets can help.

It only means that they'll be fed organic feed and not given any antibiotics. If you want an animal that saw the light of day, you need to do some serious research and find a REAL FREE-RANGE animal and that means going to a small butcher shop that deals with a small producer. It may be more expensive but you're buying off at least some of your guilt for eating it in the first place. Ugh, please don’t spread misinformation about the impact of “organic” on animal welfare!
