We recived 4 White Hertiage poults on the 4th of July,two toms and two hens.The Saturday before Thanksgiving we had one the toms and one of the hens processed at a local turkey farm .The tom dressed out at 35 pounds and the hen at a little under 20 pounds.This week we will be taking the other two in to process.I believe they will end up weighing more then the first two.There is something to be said about organic feed! Please continue to inspire us! Charles from New Richmond Martha my wife and I decided to try raising turkeys for the first time this year.

When you made cabbage rolls, I have a shortcut for you: Freeze the whole cabbages for 3 or 4 days, take out 18-24 hrs before needed to thaw and the leaves just come right off. Oh!! cut the centre out before you freeze them. The leaves stay nice and green, you don't have to stand there and boil them one at a time, it saves an awful lot of time. Give it a try and see.

I LOVE your black tyrkeys. I started a collection a while back but don't get out like I used to. Where did you find them? I do have some of the glass ones, but not the cranberry one. I LOVE that one also. Thank you. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your family. Pete Hi Martha. I LOVE your black tyrkeys. I started a collection a while back but don't get out like I used to.

I hope your driver Rocky is having a good Thanksgiving safe out of harm there where he is serving. I would think their turkey day is today. Many blessings to you Martha it has been a tough 2007-2008. I know this is your second Thanksgiving without your Mom and your first without Paw Paw. I am thinking of them both today. Enjoy that farm of yours this Thanksgiving weekend. Martha we got RAIN, we needed it badly but for the folks who had fires down south of me in Santa Barbara the much needed rain wasn't welcome, lots of mud slides and home evacuations yesterday. I hope your friend Caroline, or was it Carolyn you spoke to me about on the radio a couple of weeks ago- found a nice place to spend Thanksgiving. I have her on my mind, losing her home and orchard is terrible but at the holidays it seems crushing more so.

I love your red bourbon turkeys, they are lucky to be in your barn. This isn't a specially good time to be a turkey. You have a lovely glass turkey collection. I liked them all and the cranberry one too. Lots of wild turkeys this year. My Aunt is having a great deal of trouble with wild turkeys. There are so many of them in her neighborhood the back yards of everyone have lots of wild turkeys roaming around sitting on fences like yours do. I'm in the city, no wild turkeys here. Have a great holiday, I am looking forward to my turkey dinner. Linda Phila, PA Happy Thanksgiving Martha! I love your red bourbon turkeys, they are lucky to be in your barn.

I have never seen that kind before. Back in the late 40's, I had an uncle who raised turkeys in Sherwood, Oregon. I don't know what kind they were, but they had dark grey feathers. I like the photos of the wild turkeys. They certainly look like they are doing well on your farm. The Mallard ducks are beautiful, also. I love your glass turkey collection. I can see how they would make beautiful decorations. What a nice blog to have on the day before Thanksgiving! Have a great, restful holiday weekend. Looking forward to your Christmas Workshop.

I have a small collection of turkeys and would love to add some glass ones. I've never been fond of wild turkeys ever since I was a child and one chased my father around the house and then stood outside the front door gobbling once my dad got inside!
