This post has been updated for 2017. Click here for Fresh Turkeys in Bucks – 2017.
Here’s an update for 2012 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. If no price is listed, feel free to call. Some places didn’t have a prices at press time. 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.
