Get a Heritage Breed Turkey this Thanksgiving
The journey to the Thanksgiving table starts in February for Travis and Melissa Cole of Pure Pasture Farm. Their Heritage turkeys called Bourbon Reds, named for their red plumage and for Bourbon County in Kentucky's Bluegrass region where it originated, are miles apart from supermarket brands, with more dark meat, a rich flavor closer to their wild ancestors than to chicken, and a longer growing time. Their birds range from 6 – 15 pounds and you can support their mission to preserve Heritage Breed turkeys by purchasing one for your table this year. Oh yeah, their chicken is fantastic too! purepasturefarms.com You can find them at the Nashville Farmers' Market and the Richland Park Farmers Market on Saturdays.
