Food Revival

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the holidays are right around the corner. As you shop around for your turkeys, please consider buying from some of our local Alabama farms and/or investing in turkeys raised sustainably. And if you are like me and sometimes get my wires crossed as to the difference between heritage, sustainable, and organic turkeys, here's a great explanation: http://www.sustainabletable.org/features/articles/thanksgiving/

As for some local resources, here are a few farms/resources to get you started:

Boutwell Farms: http://www.boutwellfarms.com/
Dove Farm: http://dovefarm.org/
Goose Pond Farm: (256) 751-0987
Mountain Fork Farm: http://www.mountainforkfarm.com/contact.html

Other ideas:
Drop by Pepper Place General Store to see if they know of any local farmers selling turkeys:
212 29th Street South
Birmingham, AL 35233

Whole Foods Market
3100 Cahaba Village Plaza
Birmingham, AL 35243 USA

I'm sure I've missed plenty of farms and would love for you to add as many turkey/veggie resources in the comments section below. I will keep adding as we go! Oh, and don't forget the resources we pulled together earlier this year: http://www.foodrevival.com/category/topic/eat-local.

Invest in good, local, and sustainable food choices -- a gift to you, your community, and the folks sitting at your supper table.
