Yes, there will be enough turkeys for Thanksgiving – at a price

The average cost of a bird is up 24% but fears of shortages appear overblown

Hemlock Hill Farm, a 120-acre organic farm near Cortlandt, New York, has been in the same family since 1939. As they prepare their turkeys for this Thursday's Thanksgiving celebrations, farmer Trish Vasta says they are facing a strange holiday season for the second year in a row.

Last week the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) warned that costs of the traditional turkey feast has risen 14% over the past year. The cost increase, up from an average of $46.90 for a family group of 10 last year to $53.31 in 2021, works out at $6 a person.
