What farm did my turkey come from?

Is my turkey organic?
You can trust that your turkey from Farmhouse delivery is 100% locally sourced and pasture- raised. Because we deal with small family farms, many cannot afford the lengthy and expensive USDA organic certification process. While not USDA certified organic, our standards for humane treatment, adherence to organic farming practices, and quality meet and exceed those of larger, certified-organic competitors.
How do I thaw my turkey and how long will it take?
There are 2 methods you can use, you can either thaw the turkey in your refrigerator (RECOMMENDED) or in an ice bath if you are pressed for time.
REFRIGERATOR THAW
Thaw breast side up, in an unopened wrapper on a tray in the fridge.
Allow at least 1 day of thawing for every 4 lbs.
COLD WATER THAW
Thaw breast side down, in an unopened wrapper, with enough cold water to cover your turkey completely.
Change water every 30 minutes to keep the turkey chilled.
Estimate a minimum thawing time of 30 minutes per lb.
Will my turkey arrive frozen?
Yes, your Thanksgiving turkey will arrive frozen to ensure your holiday bird maintains a safe temperature during it’s journey to you.. All turkey deliveries arriving between the date of 11/14-11/19 will arrive frozen solid. Any turkeys arriving between 11/20-11/22 will be subject to a “pre-thaw” process to save you time & stress closer to the holiday. Please note that even with delivery 11-19-11/22, you will still need to allot ample time to thaw your turkey.
How do I request a specific size of turkey?
After your turkey deposit has been processed, you will receive an email with a link to a Google Form. Please submit any special weight requests for your Turkey via that link.
My plans have changed and I no longer need my turkey. Can I have a refund?
All turkey deposits are NON-refundable once they have been processed. Please do not place a deposit in your cart unless you are sure you want a turkey. If you wish to cancel a turkey deposit before it has been billed, please contact our Customer Care team immediately. If you need to cancel a turkey order, please submit your cancel request at 10am 2 days prior to delivery day.
What size turkey should I get? How many people will __lbs of turkey feed?
Whether you are feeding a large or small crowd, we recommend allotting 1 lb to 1.5 lbs of turkey per diner. Estimating at 1.5 lbs per person will ensure that there are leftovers to go around
If I get my deliveries at my office, can I have a holiday delivery sent to my house?
Since different offices have different holiday schedules, we want to hear from you about what would work best. For Thanksgiving, if delivery to your office will not work, please let us know if you would prefer to receive a delivery to your home. If so, your delivery address will need to be updated 72 hours prior to delivery and then changed back to the office after the holiday.
What if my delivery day is Thursday/ Friday, how will I get my holiday order?
You can either elect to receive delivery the week before Thanksgiving on 11/16-11/17 or on 11/21-11/22 when we observe our holiday schedule.
If I am a bi-weekly customer and I am not scheduled for delivery the week of the holiday, how can I order on Thanksgiving week?
