Meet our Christmas turkeys π¦π
This is going to be an interesting couple of months...
Weβve decided to raise our own turkeys for our family Christmas dinner this year - something weβve never done before, and something I guess is going to test me emotionally π
For now, these two are going to have the best life we can give them. Plenty of space, time outside, lots of attention from the kidsβ¦ and winding up the dogs at the doorπ
Iβm going to share the whole journey - what we feed them, their weigh-ins, how quickly they grow, what raising turkeys is actually like and eventuallyβ¦ saying goodbye.
Not pretending the last part will be easy and I'll tell you we will have no part in it, they'll be taken live.
I guess if weβre going to eat meat, knowing exactly how it was raised and knowing it had a good life is the best thing.
So, here we goβ¦
Could you raise your own Christmas dinner? π¦π
