The Livengood Family Farm has opened pre-ordering for whole fresh turkeys ready in time for a delectable Thanksgiving centerpiece. Ground turkey and half breasts, drumsticks and thighs are available frozen throughout the year.

Livengood’s pasture-raised and GMO-free turkeys are also free of soy, corn, antibiotics and growth hormones. Protected by livestock guardian dogs, they experience a free-ranging habitat which leads to tenderness and exceptional flavor.

Certified organic in the 1990s, the Lancaster County farm is operated by Dwain and Audrey Livengood and their four sons. Dwain says, “While we no longer maintain the certification, we go above and beyond organic certification standards. All our animals are raised outdoors on pasture, and we avoid all insecticides, herbicides and paraciticides. Our focus is on creating soil health, which generates plant and animal health.”

He notes, “We grow fresh, GMO-free produce and raise a variety of pastured livestock, including 100 percent grass-fed Angus beef, pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep and turkeys, all without growth hormones and antibiotics.”
