Dear Members of the Edible Phoenix Community,

We hope you're enjoying the fall edition of Edible Phoenix and the articles on Simply Bread, Arizona wine and our local on-line food community. We inadvertently omitted the address for Lola Tapas from our story. Visit the restaurant at 800 E. Camelback Road in Phoenix.

IT'S TURKEY TIME!

Act soon to reserve your holiday turkeys (for Thanksgiving and Christmas). Options available here in the Valley are:

Arizona-raised birds (common broad-breasted white) from Josh's Foraging Fowls in Cochise County. There will be one delivery to Phoenix for Thanksgiving on November 16. To order telephone (520) 904-4389 or email Anya Owens at orders@abarhfarm.com.

Heritage breed turkeys from Heritage Foods USA. Heritage turkeys are rich and juicy and have a wonderful texture. Contact Chef Chrysa Robertson from Rancho Pinot Restaurant, chrysalucia@cox.net, (602) 740-7101 or Terri Nacke, taninaz@qwest.net, (602) 573-1318. Terri will also be available at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market on Saturday morning and Wednesday evening to take orders (www.dowtownphoenixpublicmarket.com).

Complete organic turkey dinners from Boxed Greens. They include everything you need to prepare an all organic Thanksgiving feast from the bird to all of the sides. Boxed Greens also offer organic hens ranging from 8 to 20 pounds, all natural Tom turkeys ranging from 22 to 26 pounds and all natural whole smoked turkeys that are 14 pounds. This year they've added whole turkey breast roasts and American Heirloom Young Turkeys that are a premium tender and juicy bird with exceptional flavor with sizes ranging from 20 to 24 pounds. www.boxedgreens.com or (480) 557-7060.
