This butcher was recommended to me for the first time during Thanksgiving as a place to pre-order…read moremy Turkey. We ordered it the week before to be picked up the day before Thanksgiving. The Turkey was the freshest Turkey I have ever bought. No pre- wrapped plastic shopping market Turkey's like the typical Safeway Turkey of the US. This was the real thing.
