(WCAX) - One Upper Valley farm has been preparing for Thanksgiving for months. The Bailey Farm in Lyme, New Hampshire, has been raising turkeys for decades, and November is the busy season.“I’ve been doing them since 1962. It was a 4-H project as it started,” said Dan Bailey, who grew up on the farm. Now, his son Tony helps out. The turkeys arrived in early August, just one day old. “That is always what’s amazed me -- is how fast some little thing you can hold in your hand like that gets to be 15, 20, 25 pounds,” Bailey said.For Grahame Turner, the Thanksgiving meal won’t be top of mind for a couple of weeks, but the menu is a given. “Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, vegetables,” said Turner. The White River Junction resident says he’ll likely splurge for the holiday meal, though cost is a factor. Frozen Butterball turkeys are running around $2.49 a pound in this supermarket. “I am a little bit concerned because prices have been a little bit higher this year than previous years for just regular groceries, so it is something I am keeping an eye on.”The Baileys’ turkeys are significantly higher, last year running $6.99 a pound. Final feed prices will determine this year’s rate. “Some of it is Canadian feed, so that fluctuates,” Bailey said. But he says free-range and hormone-free are worth it, not to mention the taste. “They are real juicy, and when you get done, you got plenty of gravy.” Preorders have already begun, and the farm will take requests for new turkey purchases right up until Thanksgiving.</div></body>
