Turkey Time

While the season isn't quite over yet (does it ever really end?), I think all of us here at Prairie Heritage Farm are breathing a long sigh of relief, now that the turkeys have found their way into the mouths and freezers of friends and family in nearly a dozen cities across the state.

We still need to wrap up our first annual Grain and Seed CSA, but cleaning, weighing, bagging, and delivering grains is a far cry from wrangling 80 turkeys in subzero weather.

So, here are a few images from the highly successful (thanks to the wonderful crew that came out to help) 2010 Prairie Heritage Farm Turkey Fest:
