Preparing a Thanksgiving dinner can be time-consuming, tiring, and downright stressful. This is why some people decide to buy ready-made feasts which are ready to serve, or put off purchasing what they need to make the meal for as long as they can.

If you wait until the last minute to make preparations for the big banquet, you might find that many stores have run out of birds or are no longer accepting orders, whether they are ready to eat or still need to be roasted.

Grass Roots Farmers Co-op

If your Thanksgiving party is a small one, or has little demand for turkey, you can go for drumsticks instead of the whole bird. Minimum delivery time is two days, so order the flash frozen drumsticks right away.
