If your only exposure to a Thanksgiving bird is one wrapped in plastic, this year might be the year to try one that spent more time wrapped in feathers. Bucks County is stocked with markets that are eager to bump your annual poultry purchase up a notch with a fresh Thanksgiving turkey, reports Bucks County Taste.

The following suppliers can accommodate Thanksgiving orders, but it’s best to make arrangements now. The closer the calendar gets to that fourth Thursday of November, the harder it is to take home a tasty Tom.

Some of these outlets raise their livestock onsite; others access it from farms in nearby Lancaster County. Either way, all claim that once you taste a fresh bird, your Thanksgiving table will never be the same. All make assurances that their turkeys are raised range-free, without antibiotics or hormones.

Also, many can fill out your order with sides (Heller’s, for example, offers oyster stuffing).

More information on obtaining a fresh Thanksgiving turkey is at Bucks County Taste. Despite the article’s 2017 publication date, the information above has been verified by BUCKSCO Today.
