My family sent me e-mails regarding Thanksgiving get together. I just remembered I haven't heard from the organic farmer about my turkey order.
According to him, as of today, he never had an order for me. Even though I e-mailed him twice or more, and offered to put a deposit down on two of them - face to face, he doesn't have my order.
I am so upset. It's too late to get organic turkeys from another farm.
We even toured his farm. There's nothing I can now, but raise my own next year. It just makes me so mad. I can understand an honest mistake, but I was there (face to face) offering a deposit for my order.

Sorry you won't be getting what you wanted. Unless there is a receipt or something, it is his word against yours, toto bad he is a jerk. You are better off raising your own, poults are had to get started, but watching them grow is a treat in itself. I raise Royal Palms, I keep 3 hens and 1 Tom for breeding, and i let them set naturally, last year we had lots of turkey eggs to bake with and put 6 in the freezer. Good luck, if you decide to give it a try.

So sorry to hear this ... shame shame on him.
Next year you do need to raise your own ... we did this year and it is so easy ... just like those meat birds only bigger :)

That's just wrong. I wish people were more honorable than that! I hope you're able to find some suitable birds for your family. Maybe try calling around? You never know, some people could cancel last minute with the economy... Worth a shot. Good luck! And I think you'll enjoy raising your own for next year.

That's lame. I bet he knew full well you wanted your order but thinks he can squeeze more money out of someone else for the birds at this last couple weeks.
