Thanksgiving 2026

Reserve a turkey that is still out on pasture

Nathan's birds are growing right now in west-central Minnesota. They finish in early November, which is why reserving early gets you first pick of the size you want.

What makes these birds different

Most turkeys sold as pasture-raised are labeled that way because the barn has a door. The industry term is "access to the outdoors," and a bird can live its whole life without ever using it. Nathan's birds are actually out there on the pasture with shelter they can come back to.

They also grow slowly. That extra time is most of why the meat actually tastes like something, and it is also most of why these birds cost what they do. The grain they get alongside the pasture is certified organic, non-GMO.

How to pick your size

Plan on about a pound to a pound and a half of bird per person. The low end covers dinner. The high end covers dinner plus sandwiches on Friday, which for most households is the real reason to size up.

Every turkey in the list at the bottom of this page shows its weight range and roughly how many people it feeds, so you can match it to your table without doing the arithmetic.

Birds finish at different weights, so you are reserving a range rather than an exact bird. If the size you picked runs out we will move you to the next one up and charge the difference. If your bird comes in under what you paid, the difference goes back to your account as store credit. Either way you would hear from us about any adjustments before your delivery.

Reserving early is how you get the size you want. The earlier you check out with your order, the greater your chance of getting the size you reserved, no matter which day your turkey is delivered.

About brining

We brine in small batches as the birds come in, then freeze them. A brined bird is the same bird, seasoned and ready, and it takes one large job off your counter the week of Thanksgiving.

Taste it before you reserve it

On October 10th from 11am-1pm at our warehouse in Blaine, we are putting out the Thanksgiving sides, the pies and a good spread of things from our vendors so you can try them before you decide what goes on your table.

Everything you taste will be on this page to reserve

How reserving works

1. Pick your Thanksgiving delivery day

Choose it once at the top of this page and everything you add lands on that day, even though you are ordering now.

2. Add any items you want to your delivery

All thanksgiving items are listed at the bottom of this page.

3. Navigate to the deliveries page to reserve and pay

You pay in full when you reserve. That is what holds your bird. If the size you picked runs out, we move you up and charge the difference, or refund the difference as store credit if the birds come in smaller.

4. We deliver it all to your door

Everything arrives in insulated bags. No need to be home, your food stays fresh/frozen until you're ready to bring it in.

What else you can put on that delivery

Everything here lands on the same delivery as your turkey, and you add it in the order form at the bottom of the page, alongside the produce, dairy, eggs and pantry staples you would order any other week. These three are worth a word about who makes them.

Sides from our kitchen

Emily cooks these in our kitchen in small batches through the fall, using local and organic ingredients.

Pies

Varieties are listed in the order form below.

Megan builds each centerpiece by hand, so no two come out the same.

Pro tip: Two deliveries work better than one

Put your turkey, kitchen items and anything frozen on a delivery the week before Thanksgiving so there is time to thaw. Put produce and fresh items on a delivery the week of, so they are fresh when you cook.

Quick Questions

Do I need to be home for delivery?

No need to be home. We’ll deliver your order right to your doorstep, no contact required.

Our re-usable insulated cooler bags will keep your items fresh/frozen until you’re ready to bring them in.

Live in an apartment building? No problem! You can give our delivery drivers special instructions in your account for where you would like your food delivered.

Do I need a TC Farm Membership to order?

Nope! Anyone can order our items without a membership, but you do need an account so that we know where to deliver your food! Don't already have a TC Farm account? No worries! It's quick, easy and free to set up your account.

Are your turkeys fresh or frozen?

We flash-freeze our turkeys immediately after processing to lock in peak quality and flavor. This means you're getting genuinely fresh meat, not a bird that's been sitting thawed on a shelf for weeks like in most grocery stores.

Benefits: Fresher quality, your own thawing timeline, safer delivery, and the superior flavor of pasture-raised birds preserved at their peak.

Need it thawed? All Turkey orders delivered the week of Thanksgiving will be delivered thawed.

How much does delivery cost?

Delivery is $9.99 (plus processing fees)
