Although its located in the country, its country not far outside of Baltimore City, and the farm invites locals to come right down to its location for all of the goods they sell.
Autumn is a great time to visit Web Cider Mill because, as the name suggests, it grows and presses its own cider. However, if it's turkey your looking for, the farm has you covered. Raised in an open-air environment, the turkeys are fed natural feed such as oats, corn and soybeans, all of which are grown right on the farm. The turkeys are given a variety of vitamins and minerals, but never hormones. They are processed right before sale, and water-rinsed throughout the process. Then they are sold fresh to you, without ever being frozen. It's hard to get a better turkey than that!
