Maryland Grown Turkeys 2023

When it comes to preparing a memorable Thanksgiving meal, look no further than Maryland's vibrant farmers markets and farm stands. They offer a diverse array of fresh, locally sourced ingredients to complete your holiday shopping list. From sweet potatoes to your choice of greens, whether collard, kale, or spinach, and the essential pumpkin and Brussels sprouts, your checklist is easily fulfilled. Add to that artisanal bread, chestnuts, and exquisite cut flowers to adorn your table, and you're at a resounding 100%. But why stop there?

This year, let's make the star of your Thanksgiving feast a true local hero – a Maryland-grown turkey! The secret? Act fast, as these birds are in high demand.

In most cases, placing a deposit secures your turkey, and you can conveniently pick it up at your nearest farmers market before the holiday. However, some farmers may also offer on-farm pickups or even delivery options for your convenience.

Make your Thanksgiving feast truly special by supporting local farmers and savoring the exceptional quality of farm-fresh ingredients. Be sure to check the individual farmer's market schedules and turkey pickup details to ensure you don't miss out!
