The Star of the Show
Kimberton Whole Foods is thrilled to offer organic, all-natural Thanksgiving turkeys and turkey breasts, both available to order at your nearest KWF location. Locally raised turkeys are sourced from Koch’s Turkey Farm in Tamaqua, Schuylkill County, and Bell & Evans in Fredricksburg, Lebanon County.
Koch’s, one of the few family-owned turkey farms committed to producing the cleanest, healthiest turkeys you can buy, boasts high standards and humane practices that result in a stress-free life for their turkeys—and a tender, delicious product for customers. Organic turkeys are certified by Pennsylvania Organic Certifiers and held to the strictest standards in the industry.
Bell & Evans has been providing top-notch free range turkeys for Thanksgiving dinners for four generations. Organic turkeys are bred in Pennsylvania Dutch country to grow slower, resulting in a rich, moist flavor. Turkeys are free range and are fed an all-organic, vegetarian diet with no antibiotics or growth hormones.
Whole turkeys are priced as follows: Koch’s organic turkey, $4.99/pound; Koch’s natural turkey, $3.29/pound; Bell & Evans organic turkey, $4.99/pound. Turkey breasts are offered at $6.99/pound for Koch’s organic turkey breast and $5.99/pound for Koch’s natural turkey breast. Turkeys are available in a variety of weight ranges, while supplies last.
