About Fulton's Maple Lawn Farm

OK, I could go to the local Safeway and buy a good old Butterball turkey. It spent its brief live in a turkey factory, living in a crowded cage and being fed a diet of growth hormones and lord knows what. After being slaughtered, it will have been frozen and then shipped half way across the country to some chilly warehouse. By the time it finally hits a store, it won't taste too bad because it will have been stuffed with lots of yummy chemicals (buttery flavor, perhaps?).

Or, I could get into my car and drive half way to Baltimore in the pouring rain and get a turkey who, until a couple of days. ago was running around the Maple Lawn Farms having a fun life eating grass and scratching around for an occasional worm treat. She wasn't crowded in with a bunch of cage mates. She got the run of the place. I'll bet she even got to make whoopee with some hunky Tom Turkey!

Maple Lawn Farms is a fourth generation family business known for it's beautiful Holstein cattle and delicious

So Ms. Maple Lawns, a 20 pound hen, is now in my fridge waiting to be the centerpiece for my Thanksgiving day feast. She is very fresh, having been happily running around Maple Lawns until a couple of days ago. She has never been frozen, and she is going to taste totally amazing.

I make the trek to Maple Lawns Farm a couple of times a year, at Thanksgiving and Christmas. They sell a different kind of bird than what you find at your local supermarket.

And of course it's impossible to get there and back without some sort of adventure, and I did. I wound up getting mired in some combination of mud and turkey bupkis. When two burly guys couldn't get me out of it, one of the employees pulled up in a huge truck and chain and pulled me out!

They will be open tomorrow from 7 am until 5 pm. If you've already picked up your Thanksgiving bird, keep them in mind for your Christmas bird. During November and December, they have fresh turkeys available. It's best to go to their web site if you plan to visit during December. You may have to make an appointment to buy your bird. Other times of the year, they have fresh frozen turkeys available. They are located just north of Route 29 (Colesville Road) on Route 216.

MAPLE LAWN FARM SINGLE FAMILY HOME SALES STATISTICS:

(Since 1/1/2009)

Every Tuesday before Thanksgiving, after the office meeting and brokers' tour, I head out Colesville Road to Fulton Maryland to Maple Lawn Farm to get my turkey.

The birds lucky enough to grow up at Maple Lawn lead pretty good lives. Their avian condo units are quite spacious. They get to scratch around the ground looking for worms. and the food (other than the worms) is pretty good, too.

But not that wonderful. These guys appear to be the sole survivors of a recent massacre.

And I walked out with a 20 pound bird who, until just hours before, was alive and clucking. Talk about fresh!

So on Thursday, in the wee hours of the morning, this bird goes into my oven and hours later I will serve it to my mom, my vegetarian sisters, one of whom will eat it, and a couple of token carnivores who are joining us.
