Thanksgiving is drawing nearer and nearer, which means there is one thing on everybody's mind: turkey.
Ah, great bird of gravy and dressing. But really, where do these turkeys come from? Some people go out and shoot their own turkey in the woods. They may bring it back, pluck it, clean it and say it was all natural. Really, a quality bird can come from a farm and still be considered "all natural."
Turkeys are raised on farms just like chickens. People tend to think of them as a more seasonal commodity, but think of how often you eat turkey. It is in sandwiches at Subway. It is in store shelves in the ground form. It is in some bacon. It is in Lunchables. Turkey appears everywhere, and we don't even know how much we actually depend on the turkey farming industry to supply these birds.
Some farms may even let people come buy a bird to take home and clean themselves. It is all a matter of personal preference and how hard you look. Turkeys are everywhere, and it just takes a second to look to find them.
