Around this time next week, many people will be preparing to eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day. The Edge Farms is located in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. The Farm offers tours, educational programs, a live turkey farm and more. Black Edmonds of the Edge Farms shared what goes into day to day raising a turkey.

“Turkeys are very, very social animals. So, one of the things we have to do is make sure that the space that they're in is well contained. So, we generally use electric fences because we move our turkeys and they move very regularly over pastureland, “said Edmonds.

Alexandria Ferris of the Edge Farms says there are many benefits of purchasing poultry straight some the producer of the food.

“Turkeys are often one of the most antibiotic filled foods that is in the grocery store, you know, across the industry. Yes. And so, again, with accountability, you want to know how the animal was raised. Our animals are all raised on pasture, and they are not given antibiotics, you know, broad spectrum or, you know, except in specific cases where an individual animal has an individual need and then they're often, you know, we separate them out because there are people who say, I don't want any antibiotics if they're not needed. And that's just something to keep in mind because many times if you grab an industrially produced turkey off of the shelf at the grocery store, if you were to test it right then and there, there would be antibiotics present in its meat “said Ferris.
