I think it's worth giving it a try if you're unhappy with the quality of turkey at your supermarket and don't mind spending more for a quality, local, organic bird that has been pampered all its life on a small family farm.

The open at 8am

Here's a list of their farmers, so you can get an idea of who sells what:

But here's a map of the farmers at the union square market so you can find the tent for your desired vendor:

Happy turkey shopping!

Also, the market is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday- and each day there's different vendors. Check out the map so see who is there which days. IF memory serves there's a turkey farm vendor there on Fridays, but they have so many farmers there's bound to be someone selling poultry every day the market is open.

Oh, and Terhune Orchards sells these amazing apple pies, $5 for a small one if you want to try 'em out- they had the dean of pastry at the CIA train their kitchen staff on making wickedly addictive pies that aren't too sweet. Their apples rock the house, too. Why bake an apple pie for thanksgiving when you can get one from Terhune

Well, the farmer's market opens in roughly 6.5 hours, and then you can nosh on an apple pie. Terhune is there on Wednesdays, and so are the turkey farmers (Di Paola Turkey) - I cheated and checked the map (they're there Wednesdays and Fridays).
