Given the highly seasonal nature of turkey consumption, most local livestock farmers focus on meat sources (beef, chicken, pork, lamb) that are in demand all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also no question that a pasture-raised, small-flock turkey will cost more than the mass-produced birds that you find in most supermarkets. Small farms lack the economies of scale that the big farms enjoy, and slowly raising turkeys on pasture as nature intended is neither easy nor cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it is very much worth the splurge (especially since, for most buyers, it\u2019s a once-a-year purchase). The flavor of a pasture-raised bird is so much richer and more satisfying than that of conventionally raised birds. And it\u2019s a great way to say thanks to the farmers who work every day to build a better food system and a stronger local economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to utilize the Buy Fresh Buy Local Illinois Directory to locate turkey farms in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are happy to present the following list, in alphabetical order,
