Why a Pasture-Raised Thanksgiving Turkey Costs $95
Briefly

Lisa Skillman manages Troll Bridge Farm with a commitment to natural, humane practices. Unlike large corporations, her pasture-raised turkeys aren't subjected to common physical alterations like beak cutting or toe clipping.
Raising goats initially, Skillman expanded her farm in 2018 to include turkeys, chickens, and pigs, fulfilling her lifelong dream of working with animals and being outdoors.
The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed consumer habits, leading to a surge in demand for pasture-raised meat. Skillman's farm sold out of turkeys for the first time ever by early November.
With the overall demand high, many local farms are experiencing surges in customer numbers, prompting collaboration between farmers, particularly around turkey sales as they ask if Skillman has extra stock.
