A Local Thanksgiving Meal? Print E-mail
Thursday, 20 November 2008

 Is it possible to prepare a 100 percent local meal for the holiday? According to Rhode Island Monthly, you can source about 95 percent of your holiday meal locally. Jessica Knapp, of Farm Fresh Rhode Island, told RIM it’s difficult to find flour and butter produced in Rhode Island, but just about everything else you need can be found from local vendors. Squash, apples, cheese, greens, eggs, and more, can be found at our local farmstands and markets. Fresh, locally raised turkeys can be found at Belwing Turkey Farm (508-336-9142, 773 Taunton Ave., Seekonk), they are still accepting orders for Thanksgiving turkeys, as is Helger’s Turkey Ranch (624-4087, 2554 Main Road, Tiverton).
