Baby Red Bourbon Turkeys

Have you stopped by the farm lately?  We have beautiful hanging baskets outside, as well as new products throughout the store.  With the warm weather finally here, we are excited about the new season.  The greenhouses are filled with budding plants, and we have already started putting plants in the ground.  For a limited time we have Pheasant Eggs.  When you stop by the store, ask to see one of the baby Pheasants that are going to be hatching any day! This week we also have baby Red Bourbon Turkeys.  They will be here growing from now until Thanksgiving!

You can also “like” us on facebook to see pictures, events, and exciting facts about the farm.

Food of the Week:  Pheasant Eggs

Pheasant Eggs are now available at the Griggstown Farm Market.  These eggs are slightly smaller than a chicken egg, and larger than a quail egg.  They can be used as a substitute to most egg recipes, by using approximately double the amount.  Change a simply recipe to something extraordinary with Pheasant Eggs!
