The 2026 Turkey Sale is just around the corner, and we're gearing up for the big day! Every fall, our club offers fresh, dressed turkeys as our main fundraiser. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer! As with last year, you’ll pre-order your turkeys and pick them up on Sunday, November 22, 2026. Pickup will be at the Penn State Poultry Education & Research Center, University Park. We’ve made ordering easy with an online pre-order form, which goes live on October 23, 2026, at noon. After submitting your form, you’ll receive a confirmation within 48 hours. So mark your calendars and get ready to enjoy some delicious turkey!
The 2025 Turkey Sale
The sale opens October 23rd, at noon! When you order a turkey, please watch for an email with instructions for pickup time on Sunday, November 22, 2026. Thank you for your support!
Turkeys will be available for purchase starting October 23rd, 2026, at noon. Once we’ve sold out, a waitlist will be created. To reserve your spot, simply use the link below.
- We will only be accepting cash or check payments!
- 2026 Turkey Harvest Order Form will become live Friday, October 23rd, at noon
- It's a first-come, first-served deal. The pre-order form link above will go live on October 23rd, 2026 at noon. Orders will be processed in the order they're received, and once we sell out, a waiting list will be created. We'll notify you when your order is confirmed or if you're placed on the waiting list. Last year, some people didn't pick up their turkeys and the waiting list helped us sell those extras.
- Pricing is straightforward. All Grade #1 turkeys will cost $50 each, while Grade #2 turkeys (we have very few) will be $45 each.
- If you've successfully pre-ordered, you can pick up your turkey on the designated date. Waiting list turkeys will also be called if we have cancellations on the pick-up day. Just drive up, show your confirmation email and get your turkey with the assistance of the club members. 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. Pickup will be at the Penn State Poultry Education and Research Center, University Park.
- If you can't pick up your turkey 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 noon. We'll also notify everyone on the waiting list by email once all the turkeys are sold.
New this year: We are selling turkey harvest t-shirts to the public!
