Let's Talk Turkey
We are now taking reservations for Thanksgiving 2025.
Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday here at Nightfall Farm. The days turn cool. Friends and family gather together to cook a special meal and play games or take walks. We take time to savor the abundance of the season. Best of all, a pasture-raised turkey from Nightfall roasts in the oven.
We would be honored to provide the turkey for your family’s Thanksgiving table. We raise our turkeys on pasture, where these curious birds have plenty of room to socialize, forage, and enjoy the sunshine. We use GMO-free feed, and we never use antibiotics or hormones. We are proud of how we raise our birds.
Pasture-raised turkeys are rich, juicy, and tasty. You can prepare them just like you would the store-bought variety – but we're confident you’ll taste the difference. Our turkeys are fresh for Thanksgiving, so you don't have worry about thawing. Our turkeys have not been brined, so you control salt level and flavor. We look forward to hearing what you think of your Thanksgiving turkey.
Price, Size, and the CSA Advantage
Our turkeys average about 17 pounds and come whole. Turkey costs $5/lb, so the average turkey cost is around $85. We ask everyone to pay a $20 deposit when they reserve their turkey. You'll pay the balance at turkey pickup, based on the actual weight of your turkey (more on weight below!)...
...Pro Tip: Do you want to get 12% off your turkey AND get good meat all winter long? Join our CSA. Here's how it works:
We reserve CSA members an average size turkey (about 17 pounds), but it's your dinner, so you can ask for a smaller or larger turkey. If your turkey is over 19lbs, CSA members pay the difference at CSA price of $4.30/lb.
Reserving and Picking Up Your Turkey
Each year, we raise and sell out of just over 110 turkeys. Reserve yours by mid October to ensure availability.
To sign up, click the YELLOW BUTTON at the top of this page. The form asks for a few details: your contact info, your ideal size turkey (Small is 15lbs and under, Medium is 15-18lbs, and Large is 18lbs+), and which of the following pickup locations works for you:
Turkey Pickup
Pickup will be on the weekend before Thanksgiving, leaving you plenty of time to brine or otherwise prepare your turkey, but also ensuring that your fresh turkey is good for Thanksgiving. We will spend an hour or so at each pickup site. Details are in the order form.
We email you a week or two before Thanksgiving with details about pickup location and time. Please plan to bring a check or cash so that you can pay the remainder of your bill (you can also pay with card, but we'll pass the 3% fee along). And don't forget a cooler to keep your fresh turkey chilled until you return home. We're looking forward to handing off your Thanksgiving turkey!

...Pro Tip: Do you want to get 12% off your turkey AND get good meat all winter long? Join our CSA. Here's how it works:
- Good meat every month. It's like a buying club or a magazine subscription: you pay up front for six months of pork, chicken, and/or eggs, but you don't need a ton of freezer space.
- Easy pickup. Starting in October, you'll swing by to pick up your meat/eggs (location of your choice - Columbus, Seymour, or Madison). Pickup is quick and easy.
- First dibs. You get first dibs on things that are limited (like eggs and brats) and/or a discount on our staples (like your turkey).
- Sign up now. When you fill out the turkey RSVP form, just choose "Yes, I'm interested in becoming a CSA member. Send me the info!" and we'll email you the details. :) After you sign up, we'll give you the 12% discount on your turkey.
