Northeast Ohio Turkey Farms

Northeast Ohio offers a number of places where you can buy your holiday turkey directly off the farm, rather than frozen in a grocery store. Most turkeys you buy directly from the farm or from farmers' markets are raised organically and many are free-range.

Usually demand far exceeds supply during holiday seasons, so plan--and place your order--well in advance. Find out more about Northeast Ohio turkey farms.
