The 2023 Turkey Sale is just around the corner, and we're getting everything ready for the big day! Every fall, our club brings you fresh, dressed turkeys as our main fundraiser. This year, we're aiming for turkeys in the 16-19 pound range, so you'll have plenty to choose from. Our sale will work much like last year – you will pre-order your turkeys, and then pick them up on November 19th, 2023. We've made it super easy for you with an online pre-order form that will go live on October 20th, 2023 at NOON. Once you've filled it out, you'll get a confirmation of your order within 48 hours. So mark your calendars and get ready for some delicious turkey!
This site will also announces when birds are sold-out for 2023.
-
This year, our turkeys will weigh between 16 and 19 pounds.
-
It's a first-come, first-served deal for all the birds, and each person can only order one turkey. The pre-order form link above will go live on October 20th, 2023 at NOON. Orders will be taken in the order they're received, and once we run out of turkeys, we'll create a waiting list. We'll reach out to you when your order is confirmed, or if you're on the waiting list. Last year, some folks who ordered didn't pick up their turkeys, so the waiting list helped us sell those extra birds.
-
Pricing is straightforward. All Grade #1 turkeys will cost $45 each, while Grade #2 turkeys (we have very few) will be $37 each.
-
Please note that we can only accept payment in cash or checks made out to "Penn State Poultry Science Club." Unfortunately, we can't process credit cards.
-
If you've successfully pre-ordered, you can pick up your turkey on the designated date in 30-minute time blocks. Since parking and space are limited, this arrangement helps things run smoothly. Waiting list turkeys will also be called if we have cancellations on the pick-up day. Just drive up, show your confirmation email, pay with cash or a check made out to "Penn State Poultry Science Club," and get your turkey at the time we've emailed you. If you need to change your pick-up time, please get in touch with us. Keep in mind, though, that this sale coincides with the university's fall break, and student housing closes, making it difficult to distribute birds beyond Sunday.
-
If you can't pick up your turkey within two hours of your designated time, we'll offer it to someone on the waiting list. We'll start contacting people on the waiting list if there are cancellations or at the end of pick-up time on Sunday at 3:00 pm. We'll also notify everyone on the waiting list by email once all the turkeys are sold.
