I know it's months until Xmas, but as my baby is due a few days before we are trying to get ready earlier than usual. Now, does, anyone know of any farm shops/buchers that sell free-range turkeys?

Hi zweena

Not local I know but www.hiddenvalleypigs.co.uk sell fantastic pork and turkey's. We ordered ours from these last year and I can honestly say that it was the best we have ever tasted. The turkey's a free range in a wood (there natural habitat) and the taste is fantastic.

Debbie who owns the farm is lovely; delivery is overnight by courier and last year cost us £5. Even with this the turkey was much cheaper than a free range one I could have purchased locally.

Hi Zeena - I see you're in Woodseats - The fishmongers (Baldock's?) in Woodseats does free range turkeys at Christmas (they are from a local farm too) and you can order them ages in advance, so I don't expect they'd mind if you went and ordered one now. They're always friendly and helpful, so worth going in for a chat.

Congratulations. Roney's do free range turkeys that are supposed to very good (Delia Smith and Gordan Ramsey recommend them). We got a free range goose from the fishmongers in Woodseats last year. It was delicious - much nicer than turkey. Plus you get loads of goose fat for your roast potatoes.

The Butchers shop in crosspool (next to the travel agent). They are free range and fantastic!

Any of the crawshaws butchery chain will provide you with one. We rear a few each year (bronze) but afraid these are all ordered already

we used to buy them from Whirlow Hall Farm and they were very good...
