Fresh turkeys in Bucks – 2011

This post has been updated for 2017. Click here for Fresh Turkeys in Bucks – 2017.

Here’s an update for 2011 on where you can get fresh, natural turkeys in Bucks County. Not all are raised here (some come from Lancaster County or New Jersey), but they are all fresh and can be picked up just before Thanksgiving. And don’t dilly-dally. Some of these producers/vendors may sell out!

This is an alphabetical list of markets, farms and producers where you can get the birds, along with key information. Many don’t know prices yet; as I find out I will update the post. I apologize if I have omitted a good source. Be sure to let me know, and I’ll add them to the list. Also, keep Christmas in mind too, since most of these suppliers also have turkeys (and ducks) for the December holidays.

Bolton’s Farm Market (Silverdale)

Store hours: Mon – Fri 9:30-6, Sat 9:30-5
Thanksgiving Week: Mon 9-6, Tues 8-7 (try to stay away from 10 to 2), Weds 7-5 (ditto), closed T’giving Day

Turkeys are fresh, all natural, raised on Bolton’s farm, no hormones or antibiotics, fed no animal by-products, and raised in large pens. The smallest birds are 10-12 lbs, the largest are 38-40 lbs. Price: $2.59/lb. Call or stop by the store to order, at least 2 weeks before Thanksgiving – do not leave a message; wait to speak to someone. Pick-up is at the store the Tuesday or Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Cash or personal checks only. Here are some tips from their website: Historically, our small parking lot can get so full between 10am and 2pm that it is sometimes almost impossible to get in. Well before or well after these times are best. Want to get in and out? Come between 8:00am – 9:30am or the last hour we are open, especially Tuesday. YOUR TURKEY MUST BE ORDERED AHEAD and will be waiting for you!
