thanksgiving

shop local for turkey day (even if you aren’t into turkey)

Many of the things we eat as part of a traditional Thanksgiving meal are grown/raised locally in Massachusetts. This is a great opportunity to shop local for the holiday: find a farm or Thanksgiving market near you in one of the lists below. There is a decent selection here, but (as always), if you know of something I don’t, please reach out and let me know so I can add it.

Below I have lists of places to order a turkey, shop at a farmers market, and find local cranberries. Enjoy!

Order Turkeys

Massachusetts has a whole lot of turkey farms and fresh locally-raised turkeys are next-level DELICIOUS! Some farms sell out early, but many have turkeys up until the day before if you didn’t plan ahead. Some deliver and others have a range of pick-up locations, so check their websites/socials to find something near you (even if the farm isn’t close by). Clicking the turkey () will get you as close as possible to the turkey order info. You may need to look around, scroll down, etc., but you’ll be close as I can get you. Many places require pre-orders, so please check before you go.

Thanksgiving Farmers Markets

If you are looking for more than just turkey, you can visit a farmers market–many are still going strong through Thanksgiving (or run year round). There are also a number of extra farm pop-ups mixed in–including one at a cranberry bog!

Whichever one(s) you visit, they should be brimming with local squash, potatoes, onions, cranberries, all the greens, and more. You could even pick up a pie or two.

Cranberries

The cranberry is the official state berry of Massachusetts and for good reason–we grow a lot of cranberries here. According to the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association, it is our #1 food crop.

While many of these farms are large operations, sending cranberries all over the world, there are a few that cater to normal folks and you can buy directly from them.

Town		Market Name/Location	Random Thoughts & Comments	Website/Socials
Carver		Fresh Meadow Farm 26A Walker Rd Carver MA 02330	Fresh Meadow offers mail order (as well as local pick-up), if that helps make your Thanksgiving food shopping a little easier. Or if you want to send some to friends and family. I’ve been spotting these around randomly (Idylwilde Farms, Small Farm, and Debra’s Natural Gourmet, so far), so keep an eye out for them at your local farm stands and markets that carry local produce.
Carver		Red Meadow 213 Meadow St Carver MA 02330	Red Meadow sold out early this year, but their Instagram posts are gorgeous, so I didn’t want to leave them out (also, you can keep them in mind for next year).
East Taunton		Old Earth Orchards 629F Caswell St East Taunton MA 02718	Old Earth Orchards sold their cranberries at Codman Community Farms last year, so you may also find their berries around at a local farm stand near you. They had two varieties there, I bought them both, and they made THE BEST cranberry curd tarts.
Middleboro		Bensons Pond Cranberry Farm 6 Pine St Middleboro MA 02330	Bensons Pond is having a pop-up Thanksgiving market where you can buy their fresh cranberries, as well as other local produce. Also, if you ever wanted to wander around a cranberry bog, this is your chance.
