Weiser's Market - Akron, PA

Friendly staff at Weisers Market in Akron, PA made for a successful Friday demo of the Koch's Cranberry Turkey Burger. Shoppers showed a willingness to try something new and they were not disappointed. Store staff, including Laurie, shown in this photo, took a strong liking to the subtle sweetness of the turkey burger, with a twist - diced, dried cranberries right in the patty.

PA Preferred - Giant Food Show

Tomorrow I will join 180 Pennsylvania vendors in presenting our products to Giant grocery of Carlisle, PA. Giant is a large chain in the mid-Atlantic area and a strongly desired customer. If you get your product in their stores and their customers buy it, you can sell a lot of goods - in our case, turkey. I will show a range of natural turkey items and cook up some cranberry turkey burgers as we approach the 4th of July. I'll also sample our new Koch's Turkey Farm Gravy - Spicy edition! The gathering will take place at the PA Farm Show Facility in Harrisburg, so if you're in the area, stop by and tell them you're with the turkey guy!

Gaithersburg, Md Whole Foods demo

There's an action shot from the demo in the Kentlands Whole Foods store in Gaithersburg, MD. I was directing the interested customer to the meat freezer, while a WF staffer took the pic.

Response to the burgers was great as I cooked them for 7 minutes at 350 degrees in an electric skillet, with a tablespoon of canola oil. Condiments included dijon mustard and 'Beltway" BBQ Sauce, a local favorite. People were very happy to see the low sodium content on the nutritional profile, since many 'processed' foods are heavy with salt. Hey, at Koch's Turkey Farm we're just making the world a healthier place, one burger at a time...

weavers way coop

I had a fine demo at the Weavers Way Coop new store in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia yesterday.  Cranberry Turkey burgers were featured as was our new Koch's Turkey Farm Spicy Turkey Gravy. This is the Coop's 3rd store and they do a great job selling our natural turkey products. Customers, who were familiar with our product line, were thrilled with the new store at 8424 Germantown Rd., that opened just 2 weeks ago.  If I lived in Philly, I think I'd join the Coop - they are a terrific bunch of people. Based on their response to the samples, I think they'll be grilling our turkey burgers this Memorial Day weekend!

test kitchen

I spent some time in the test kitchen today with 2 trial products. 1. A spicy turkey bbq featuring our smoked turkey breast and a no high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) BBQ sauce from Beltway BBQ. 2. Also we tried a stuffed turkey cutlet, with a nice piece of turkey breast and a serving spoon of cranberry dressing. Will either of these items hit supermarket shelves anytime soon? That remains to be seen, development of new items can take up to a year - but we never stop tasting and trying to come up with the next great turkey entree here at Koch's Turkey Farm!

Tomorrow and Saturday you will find me at the Whole Foods Market, P St., NW, Washington, DC. Stop by and try the new Cranberry Turkey Burger from Koch's Turkey farm. Lean ground turkey and diced dried cranberries - 2 super foods in every bite... only available at Whole Foods.
