Local Partner: Ferndale Market Turkey

When it comes to selecting a turkey for your holiday table, there's more to turkey than "fresh vs. frozen."

Kowalski's is proud to partner with Ferndale Market of Cannon Falls to offer free-range and antibiotic-free turkeys. Ferndale is a family-owned company that shares our deep connections to Minnesota as well as sustainable, humane farming and strong community values.

Nearly 70 years ago, Dale Peterson settled in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, to do what he knew best: raise turkeys. In the early years, he shared a residence with incubators, and the sound of day-old turkeys routinely filled his home. Dale's wife, Fern, had grown up raising turkeys, too. Fern was an avid advocate for the environment and believed that everybody had a role to play in preserving our earth. Through the years, the legacy of Fern and Dale has guided this family farm's mission, and Ferndale Market is named in their honor.

The Ferndale tradition has continued for three generations, with Dale's grandson John and John's wife, Erica, running the business alongside Dale and Fern's son Dick and his wife, Martha. They continue to treat customers like family and care deeply for both the land and their turkeys.
