 Through
our Ark USA program, Slow Food and Heritage Foods has adopted 10 traditional
turkey varieties near extinction - including the Narragansett, the
Bourbon Red, and the Standard Bronze. These Heritage turkeys were
developed to have rich, savory meat and therefore take longer and
cost more to raise than industrial birds. We are now working with
farmers across the country to reintroduce these varieties to the market,
and we invite you to join in the revival of this delicious holiday
tradition by purchasing a Heritage turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner.

If you would like to be placed on our mailing list for next year's Heritage turkey project, please email your name and contact information to: turkeys@slowfoodusa.org. This information will also help us notify local farmers of interest in Heritage turkeys in your region. Thanks!.
