We last took special orders for BN Ranch turkeys in 2010 and they were a huge hit – everyone loved these turkeys! My meat-eating family said it was the best turkey they have ever had in their entire lives & it has become legendary already (second only to a vegan pumpkin coconut soup I made almost 10 years ago) — wow! Please find details on ordering and the source/producer below. This information is from our shopping cart page. Please place orders for thanksgiving turkeys separately from your regular orders: http://sfraw.com/shop2012/thanksgiving.htm We don’t have final order cut-off or pick-up date information just yet, but we will let people know when the delivery/pick-up will happen ASAP so you can plan around this.
