From Rhode Island to Kentucky, these heritage turkeys carry the legacy of American farming in their feathers.

Narragansett turkeys were developed in the 1600s in what would become Rhode Island. They were the foundation for the New England turkey industry for many years.

The Standard Bronze turkey, originated in the late 1700s from crosses of European and wild turkeys and quickly became the commercial variety of choice.

The Slate turkey, also known as the Blue Slate or Blue, is named for its color, which resulted from a genetic mutation occurring in the mid-1800s.

The Bourbon Red, named for Bourbon County, Kentucky, originated in the late 1800s from the selection and crossing of dark Buff turkeys. The name change seemed to increase sales.

Hay glitter in my pocket. Maybe I should throw this at annoying people in town? Hmm…

I work hard to take great care of my livestock. I like knowing my food was ethically raised and only experienced one bad moment at the end. Just one bad moment. If we could all be so lucky when our end came.

But also, I don’t raise at factory levels, or for mass production. My costing will never meet grocery store prices. And I’m ok with that. My future customers, if I ever have any, will be ok with that too.

When you support your local farmer and rancher, you’re voting with your dollars on how you want your food to be raised- whether it’s lettuce or beef. You’re choosing to lower your carbon footprint, and that of the producers around you. And you’re choosing to support a small family operation, not factory farming or from another country.

But you know what the best part of all of this is? You get to CHOOSE. Yep! You have a choice, and people get to do what works for them! Isn’t it great?

I’m not going to judge you if you shop at Walmart because that’s how you can afford to feed your family. I firmly believe in Fed is Best. But if you have the ability, and want to do something more to support local, I’ll be cheering you on as you find producers of all sorts in your community. Do what you can, as you can. Your farmers will appreciate it.

This would so be me. Except, if I brought home giraffes, he’d ask what they needed and how we feed them, then go off to build taller fences and a safe shelter.

Mwahaha 😏😏😏

Do you use duck eggs in your baking? I have! My girls are on hiatus right now, but I hope to have duck eggs again next spring. I’ve also used turkey eggs with great success as well.

🥚✨
Duck eggs make cakes rise higher, cookies chewier, and breads richer

🥚 Why Bakers Love Duck Eggs💗💗💗

Higher fat content: Duck eggs have more yolk relative to the white, giving baked goods a richer flavor and moist texture.

More protein: The higher albumen (egg white protein) content helps cakes and breads rise better and gives them a fluffier structure.

Better binding: Their thicker whites create stronger emulsions, which means smoother batters and more stable frostings.

Natural sheen: Cookies and pastries baked with duck eggs often have a beautiful gloss and golden color without extra wash.

The holidays are right around the corner stock up on Duck eggs with Elemental Farm 🥚 Locally raised, beyond organic
