PROTEIN PRE-ORDER MENU
This year we’re puttin’ on the ritz with a selection of proteins worthy of your fancy plates (or coziest pajamas)!
We’ve got two great turkey options for anyone looking to steal the show by perfecting their poultry roasting techniques, and both are available in multiple size options! Continuing the local bird movement from last year, we’ve worked with Tailfeather Farm and added way more birds to our 2026 inventory AND are offering the always classic, certified organic Mary’s turkeys. On top of that we’ve got super tasty, uncured Hempler’s Honey Hams - these are boneless and easy to prepare, a sure-fire winner if you’re not into festive fowl or don’t have a lot of fridge space.
Peruse the full protein pre-order menu and be sure to place your order soon! All items are limited and each item reserved will require a $10 non-refundable deposit. Reserving your proteins in advance assures that you’ll have a delectable dinner and that the only thing you’ll have to stress about is whether or not to put marshmallows on the sweet potatoes.

Protein Pre-Order
Payment & Pickup
Logistics:
-
This year we have a curated selection of holiday proteins available to pre-order (Locally Grown Tailfeather & Mary’s Organic Turkeys, and Uncured Hempler’s Honey Half Hams). Pre-orders are reservations, and are on a first come, first served basis. We recommend ordering your holiday proteins sooner rather than later as there is limited stock. You can place your order through our online shop (recommended) or here in the store with one of our team members.
-
All protein items will be on-site and ready for pickup starting Saturday, November 21st. Please pick up no later than Wednesday, November 25th before the store’s closing time at 7pm. When you arrive, notify a clerk that you’re picking up your pre-order, and feel free to do a bit of shopping. By the time you get up front to check out your item will be waiting for you - please allow 10 minutes for our staff to pull your pre-order and bring it up to the front of the store.
-
Payment is required at pick-up. All items are priced by the pound and your final price will be determined at checkout based on the actual weight of the product. The 10 dollar deposit per item, collected at time of order, will be credited against your purchase.
-
Mary's Organic Turkeys are fresh, never frozen. The USDA definition of fresh allows for some crusty ice on the outside layers of the bird.
Tailfeather Farm Turkeys will be arriving to the store frozen. The processor flash freezes them immediately and we receive them from the farm shortly after. Please let us know if you would like your turkey to stay frozen, or pulled out to thaw ahead of your pick up.
Hempler’s Honey Hams will be frozen at pick-up. Please allow for ample time to defrost and prep your protein before attempting to cook.
If you need more recipes and ideas for your meal we highly recommend America’s Test Kitchen - Best Recipes for Your Thanksgiving Meal.

We have two types of turkeys this year:
These will be thawed upon pickup, please let us know if you would prefer to pick up your bird frozen.
Tailfeather Farm, from Walla Walla, WA. $11.99/lb. These turkeys are fed non-GMO, organic & locally milled Palouse grains and are fully pasture raised. These are the highest quality turkeys available for retail sales to us here on the Olympic Peninsula. We are proud to support our local Washington farmers and ranchers. Previously frozen, thawed under refrigeration for your holiday meal. There are two sizes available:
8-12 lb.
12-16 lb.
Mary's Organic Turkeys, from CA. $5.99/lb. These turkeys are certified organic, non-GMO project verified, antibiotic free, and GAP step 2 certified*. There are 3 size options for folks to choose from:
8-12 lb.

*Gap stands for Global Animal Partnership and rates animal welfare standards on a scale from 1-5 (with most animals being raised globally off the bottom of the scale).
-
Hemplers Honey Ham, from Ferndale WA. $5.99/lb These hams are uniquely smoked over natural hardwoods to provide a rich aroma and moist flavor. The hams are slowly cured in their own juices, sweetened with organic honey and a hint of brown sugar.
These will be frozen upon pickup, but thaw in a day in the fridge.
-
Turkeys
We have turkeys ranging from 8lbs to 20lbs.
Plan to have 1 to 1.5 lb. (of the total weight) for each person, and this will provide a great meal with some delicious leftovers for the next day.
Ham
Approximately 3 lbs each
Plan to have ¼ lb to ½ lb pound per person
This will feed 6-12 people, depending on your portion size.

Mary's turkeys are fresh, never frozen … though the USDA definition of fresh allows for some crusty ice on the outside layers of the bird.
Tailfeather Farm turkeys arrive to us frozen via the amazing coordination efforts of the Puget Sound Food Hood and other Food Hubs across our diverse regional food web. The ones that are pre-ordered will be thawed for customers on site at the Farmstand prior to being picked up. (Unless requested that they stay frozen). Any additional turkeys that are not pre-ordered will be stored frozen if someone would like to purchase one.
Why are they frozen? Because Tailfeather is a two-person family farm and handles the processing themselves. They have to space their processing and deliveries out across a couple months to be able to fit it all in.
