In 1952, Bostonians could still buy fresh-killed turkeys at Quincy Market.

You're either with us or against us and after what you and your fowl ilk are doing in Brookline - you (and we) shall get your just desserts tomorrow!
Yummy, save me a talon.

We do a fresh-kill turkey every year for Thanksgiving. Exponentially better than even the WF non-frozen birds. If there's a turkey farm year you, I highly recommend getting your turkey there.

Our turkey comes from a guy

Our turkey comes from a guy at my mom's school who raises turkeys as a hobby. He does private sales for Thanksgiving (is this even legal? it probably isn't.) I wish he would do it for Christmas as well, but he said that he doesn't have the capacity (or the interest) to make his operation larger.
For personal consumption it

For personal consumption it is definitely legal to raise poultry unless a town bylaw restricts it. Selling to other people without permitting might not be legal unless it is a really low volume.

Lilac Hedge Farm, which is at the Dewey Sq farmer's market, was taking orders for their fresh turkeys.
