The Feast

Tips for A Sustainable Feast

Organic Turkeys

Location Near You
Mother’s Market & Kitchen

2963 Michaelson Dr.
(949) 752-6667
*Sells free-range & heritage turkeys as well as organic fruit & veggies.

Purchase a turkey that is of a free range or heritage variety. Most of the turkeys sold in stores today are raised in unnatural and confined conditions while being given a diet of grains and supplements as opposed to the grubs and grasses they should be eating. Check with your local grocery store to see if they offer free range turkeys.

Why Organic?

Organic fruits, vegetables and grains are grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers; organic meat is produced without antibiotics and artificial hormones. The result is food that is better for your health and the health of the environment. Organic farming also produces higher yields, increases soil fertility, prevents erosion, and is more cost-effective for farmers.
