For those of you who are already thinking about Christmas....

🎄 We hate to say it, but… Christmas is fast approaching! 🎄

We know it’s only August 😂, but as this is our first Christmas since opening, we’re just testing the waters!

We’d love to know if any of our customers would be interested in ordering their boneless turkey crowns from us this Christmas. 🦃❤️

Nothing is set in stone yet .. we’re simply trying to gauge interest and see if it’s something you’d like us to offer.

If you’d be interested, drop us a comment below 👇

It’ll really help us know how much interest there is!

Thanks as always for supporting our business ❤️
