Fresh Gatherings Café + Farm Sells Holiday Turkeys, Eggs, Pies and More

Fresh Gatherings Café + Farm, operated by the Saint Ö±²¥×ÔοÊÓƵ University (SLU) Nutrition and Dietetics department, is selling turkeys and other menu items this holiday season. The turkeys are broad-breasted, pasture-raised white turkeys from Buttonwood Farms in California, MO. The turkeys are raised with no growth hormones or antibiotics, are fresh – never frozen – and not removed from pasture for processing until a day before delivery.

In addition to turkeys and turkey breasts, customers can order large eggs, house-made turkey stock, Hokkaido milk rolls and pumpkin pies with whipped cream. A large portion of the proceeds (80%) from sales of the pumpkin pies will be donated the SLU’s Billiken Bounty Food Pantry. Learn more about Billiken Bounty Food Pantry.

Order pickup will be in Fresh Gatherings Café on the ground floor of SLU’s Allied Health Professions Building on Monday, Nov. 21 or Tuesday, Nov. 22 from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. Payment will be collected at time of pickup. Cash, check, credit or Billiken bucks/flex can be accepted.
