WE HAVE JUST REACHED OUR MAXIMUM PRE-ORDERS FOR 2021. HOWEVER, WE ARE TAKING WAITING LIST ORDERS. SEE BELOW. Every fall the club harvest sell's' fresh dressed turkeys to the general public as our club's main fundraiser. The Poultry Science Club has again had to adjust how we complete this event in 2021. We are targeting birds for the 18-23 pound range again this year. The sale itself will be similar to last year in that we will have to take pre-order. But, pick up will be at a different location and in a timed manner on both Sunday the November 21st and Monday the 22nd. Also, there will be an electronic on-line form to complete to start the pre-order process. The form will become active at 8pm on October 20th. You will receive a confirmation of your order within 48 hours.
Play this video for your participants so they can guess and learn the different food preparation terms and methods. It shows 51 items 4 times through, about 5 minutes per segment. First time it plays through without naming the food prep methods. You can give the answer sheet and let participants guess the cooking terms. Be aware, it moves fast! The second time (5:25) it plays with each term named, so participants can check their answers and fill in what they missed. The third (10:44) and fourth (16:03)times are a repeat of the first 2. If time permits you can let them just watch the first 2 segments then fill in answers and check on segments 3 and 4.
