    "A Tale Of A Turkey & A Ham"

    Certified Organic Free-Range Turkey
    These farm-raised birds are fed an all-vegetarian diet consisting of 100% whole organic grains and pure spring water, with no protein supplements, added poultry or fish by-products, pesticides or herbicides. Additionally no antibiotics, growth hormones or asenicals are administered and the birds benefit from an environment that never uses artificial light. The result is a delightfully tender, moist turkey with superb flavor and 25% less fat than standard, commercially-raised turkeys.

    Certified Organic Heritage Hickory-Smoked Bone-In Ham
    This unique ham is mildly sweet because it's smoked over real apple wood chips. The full, rich flavor results from a hormone and antibiotic-free diet, as well as the Heritage breeding program. The bone takes the flavor over the top.

    All Served with Cranberry & Pear Chutney, Uncommon Baked North Carolina Sweet Potatoes, and Green Beans Sauteed in Sesame Garlic Butter.

    The Desserts
    American Apple & Southern Pecan Pie
    Plymouth Rocking Pumpkin Roll
    Silver Lining Chocolate Cloud Cake
    Valle Crucis Hummingbird Cake
