I haven't bought a turkey in town for many years. I am wondering where is the best place in town to buy a free range turkey?

Quit eating animals. That will ensure you will not be harming an innocent creature and you will be healthy too!

For the most part your choices are either a bird from Mary's or Diestal. The best price in town that I've found is $2.19/lb for a Mary's Free Range bird at Whole Foods. They were very knowledgeable and helpful over the phone, no deposit required. They also offer a air chilled heritage bird if you are a fan of those (more like a game bird, darker meat and deeper flavor, but can be off putting to some) for $5.99/lb, gasp! I'm cooking two 12lb Mary's Free Range birds. If you are feeding a crowd better to go with multiple birds than one huge one as they cook more evenly and quickly.

In Nature, all kinds of animals eat all kinds of other animals. However, they eat only what they need to, in order to survive. They do not over-indulge and over-slaughter as humans do. The prey victims of animals for the most part eat other animals who are living a normal life. Unlike farmed pigs, poultry, etc stuffed into small spaces, basically living tortured lives so that we can go from a generally obese population to a mostly obese population. Thanksgiving should actually be a day where in order to demonstrate thanks for what he have, we spend the day impacting as few other creatures negatively as possible.

Well said 585, and 583! As to the professer 584P, thank you for telling me what I should be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Here I was thinking we should be grateful for global warming because after more of the ice melts, it will give us more hunting range. ps. 585 if that happens it will be a national Holiday. Hey what a great day to eat more turkey, steak, and little piggies! Yahooo. Love this country.

Oh, Dan. So misguided....animals eat each other all the time. If your "god" didn't want us to be eaten by sharks and bears, he wouldn't have put us on the planet. It's a food chain, and it does actually consist of more than meat, shockingly enough!

We Americans are primarily corpse eaters. We enjoy feasting on the flesh of other creatures often with disastrous results. We clog our arteries with cholesterol and increase our chances of developing cancer of the lower bowels. I know you meat eaters do not want to hear this. Jut look at the statistics of meat eaters and diseases. You can can have a perfect adequate diet eating, nuts, grains, legumes,fruits and vegetables. The strongest animal on the planet the mountain gorilla eats only vegetables. Besides how many of you have ever been to a slaughter house, I doubt you would ever eat meat again.

617P Thank you...love to hear your politically correct lecture. Made me head over to Sizzler and rip down a big T-bone. I think you should admit a little demagoguery here with your fast and loose statistics. God gave you cannines for a reason. Picking the gorrilla instead of the Lion may make your sentance make sense, but clearly gives you a failing grade in "Socratic logic". Your 8th grade selection proves nothing. As to 588P..news flash here..we all evolve at around the same pace. Some of the edhatters think they have advanced their evolution due to their self-love higher causes that they preach about here. But when its all said and done, they become worm food at the same pace as the "neaderthals". Mouth is starting to water for some prime rib.

Dear 622, I personally think your attempt to be a comedian was unsuccessfull. I agree with 617P. If you can honestly go to a slaughter house and see how the animals are brutally murdered and your only concern is your mouth watering to eat that dead cow, then you are lacking a heart (among other things). Sorry, but there is a correlation with eating meat and a rise in certain cancers, colon cancer being one of them. I personally enjoy a good eggplant parmisean dish rather than eating an animal that has suffered. I know I am not the " norm" in a society that has hamburger stands on every corner. But I think most people are asleep and unaware of the suffering that goes into that little meat pattie. If people could see, they would stop eating meat. At least most people.

Humans are primates, and almost all primates eat fruits, nuts and vegetables. It is the normal healthy diet for primates.

We were vegetarians for years, but never preached to anyone. We eat meat once or twice a week now. We ordered an organic free-range turkey from Pacific Health Foods in Carpinteria. Sure the meat factories are awful; our organic beef comes from Rancho San Julian, local ranch (ownership been in the family for 175 yrs) where the cattle graze and are slaughtered on the property, so they don't have the stress of going to a factory. Buy at Farmers Market or google them for orders.

617P I've lived around ranches and farms most of my life. Pass the bacon. I'll live the way I want to live and you live the way you want to live. Oh, and I am thin, exercise and have perfect cholesterol and arteries. I have pets that I love and am committed to animal welfare (which is different from animal rights). Domestic animals in our care, whether companion animals or food animals deserve to be well cared for. I am really tired of people telling me how I should live. Preaching to me has never worked. And thank you Flicka for demonstrating that there is a reasonable in-between choice.

i love how vegetarians can turn any post about food into a tirade against the evil meat eaters. not eating meat isn't the fountain of youth. everyone who posted in this thread will die before the year 2100 (including me), there's no escaping the fact that creatures on this planet live and die. some get eaten, others get colon cancer and some die from their sniveling attitudes. i'm an apex omnivore, always have been and always will be, regardless of how much the weenies whine about animal rights.

In response to the original question- We typically order ours from Country Meat Market but have also ordered from Lazy Acres in the past. Whole Foods is another option and you can get other shopping done at the same time. Best advise is to order ahead of time to make sure you have the size you want reserved wherever you choose to buy.

Vegetarianism is unnatural for homo sapiens. We were designed to eat an omnivorous diet, to do otherwise is unwise and unhealthy. Violent protest and militancy seem to go hand-in-hand with left-wing movements. Such movements are heavily populated by vegetarians and vegans. Earth First! PETA and other militant organizations often will attack restaurants which serve meat such as McDonald's or KFC. Have you ever seen meat-eaters attack a vegetable stand? The majority of these protesters are vegetarians.Animal rights activists (vegans) have been murdering and attempting to murder high profile individuals for decades and the press barely mentions the fact that they are left wing vegetarians. Starting from Charles Manson (a vegan) and his girlfriend Squeaky Fromme (who attempted to kill President Ford) to people like Fran Stephanie Trutt who attempted to murder the president of US Surgical there has been a litany of vegan killer lunatics that continues to this day.
