Gozzi's Turkey Farms
2 reviews for Gozzi's Turkey Farms
This is the second year that we've bought a fresh turkey at Gozzi's. We love getting locally raised food. and a month or two ahead time to reserve our turkey. Each year, they seem to lose our reservation, but we always end up with the turkey we want.
Each year it has been a great turkey. It is also wonderful fun to see the brightly colored live turkeys they have outside.
If you pick up your Turkey on the day before Thankgiving, expect a long line, both in the parking lot and inside to get your turkey. The line moves quickly and it is fun to chat with others waiting for their turkey
Fresh turkey from a turkey farm? Who ever guessed there would be so many people lined up to buy this stuff? I heard that some people actually order a month in advance to secure the freshest turkey around, for Thanksgiving. But I on the other hand, being the procrastinator that I am, found myself at Gozzi's one day before Thanksgiving, an hour until their closing, begging for a turkey. Yes, I practically got down to my hands and knees to get myself a turkey. And I came home with a smaller size turkey than I would've liked, but I can't complain. I will write how this turkey tastes later on, but for now I can only be grateful that Gozzi's gave me one of their last turkeys. My suggestion for you. If you are close enough to drive to this place, call in advance. Call at least a week in advance.
I also need to rave about this place being child friendly. They have all different colored turkeys for children to feed. I thought pink, purple, green, and yellow turkeys were just in coloring books. But Gozzi's got them. Yep! I don't know what they feed these turkeys, but these turkeys are rainbow colored. See pictures for yourselves.
And, I almost forgot! Bring your cash or a check. They do not accept credit cards, which is another story of mine to tell another time.
**** The taste of roasted fresh turkey didn't impress me that much. It was grainer and meatier and had much less of that unpleasant "smell" of frozen turkey. However, the turkey soup made with the fresh turkey carcass was MUCH better tasting than soup cooked with supermaket turkey carcass.
