We grow everything on farm except beverages. We have bourbon red turkeys, to us we like the flavour best lots of fat on them, they also are self raising, will run off to set eggs and raise young. They just eat the grain spills from the cows and the pigs. The potatoes and squash last all winter in root cellar. The beer comes from local brewery we trade for it with hops and honey. We also always do some asian dishes, wonton or hot and sour soup this year it was 3 peking ducks. There is usually a ham or a crown rib roast and some wild game as we have friends over and host dinner at parents place 20- 30 people. Bread is from local grain not much bread wheat this year but lots of ameranth, barley and rye. We usually make a German dish of potatoe dumplings aswell mops up the gravy and sits in your stomach like a lead shot food baby.
There is also the local charity event which most of the local farmers and merchants supply food for the town. If everyone came it would be 300 people. They also plan the gift baskets for the less fortunate and make sure that the people who have lost their partner have a place to go for Christmas this year. You sign up with how many guest you can take to your table.
