Thanksgiving is here and what immediately comes to mind? I would say turkeys. Belinda Wernau is the owner and operator of Little Red Hen Farms in Concord, Georgia. For the past few years Wernau has been raising free range, outdoor organic turkeys. This Thanksgiving Belinda raised around 75 birds that were sent off for processing the day after these photos were taken for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
