What size bird should I purchase?
Our recommended serving size is based off of 1.5 pounds of bird per person. This is based on the assumption that no other protein is being served. Recommended serving sizes do not account for additional leftovers.
Are there any other ordering and pickup options available?
Yes, there are three other options. The first would be ordering through Chesapeake Farm to Table (Baltimore County) https://chesapeakefarmtotable.localfoodmarketplace.com/Account/Login .
