We’ve also gotten a lot of great poultry from Dines Farm, which sells turkeys on their website, as well as at New York Naturals, the Park Slope Food Coop, Brooklyn’s Natural Food Co., and the Cobble Hill CSA. Any other recommended turkey retailers?

Fairway has heritage turkeys for 5.50 a pound, more or less. You need to order them, but they said they may have some extra on hand..
