MILWAUKEE — Tower Chicken Farm, a holiday staple for more than 70 years, will begin selling turkeys today at 8 a.m. You may want to show up early though, as lines may start forming as early as 7 a.m.
Customers from Milwaukee and even as far as Illinois flock to the family-owned farm to secure their Thanksgiving turkeys. Whole turkeys are priced at $2.69 per pound, turkey breasts at $3.69 per pound, and boneless breasts at $7.29 per pound.
Today offers the best chance to get the widest selection, as sizes cannot be guaranteed later in the week when supplies run out.
