Bird Is the Word
If bird is the word for your Thanksgiving table, Slow Food Chicago has a list of local farmers who raise turkeys sustainably (either organic or pastuer-raised). Some farms have already sold out, but heritage birds like Bourbon Reds are still available from others. If you want to secure a bird, though, you might want to hurry--last year, we tried to get a bird too late in the season (maybe a week or so before Thanksgiving), and didn't have any luck.
If bird is not the word for you, the list includes farmers with other meats--like ham, lamb, ribs and goat.
