NEWFIELDS__Vernon Family Farm invites people to shop local for Thanksgiving at their farm store where customers can find local products such as the option to order a fresh pastured turkey.

Vernon Family Farm has partnered with Hurd Farm in Hampton to offer fresh pasture raised turkeys this Thanksgiving. Turkeys are antibiotic and hormone free, fresh, never frozen. Fresh turkeys will be picked up Monday, November 22 through Wednesday, November 24 at the farm store between the hours of 9am to 6pm.

The farm cannot guarantee the total pounds of the turkey but works to find the size that best fits the needs customers describe on their order. This is the third year Vernon Family Farm has collaborated with Steve Hurd and Hurd Farm.
