Thanksgiving Recipes from Reedy Fork Farm

"Living on the farm, it won't come as a surprise that our family is blessed with some really great cooks. As we approach Thanksgiving, we'd like to share a couple of our favorite recipes with you. These recipes have both been passed down to us. And they're just GOOD. Before we share, though, we'd like to take a moment to express our thanks to God for the many blessings He has given us. We count you, our customers - our friends - among those blessings. Happy Thanksgiving!
