Sticking with Tradition

We live in a world where the rate of change is rapid. No sooner have you bought a new phone or television and a state of the art latest version is released. You splash out on the latest fashions but, after a couple of washes, the new season stock is on display. Maybe this explains our desire to hold onto a few long lasting traditions.

As the advent countdown begins, households across the country will be planning who is coming over for Christmas lunch. Whilst at any other mealtime, a wide variety of dishes would be welcomed, on Christmas Day everyone expects turkey with all the trimmings.

In recent years there has been a growing desire for the good quality meat that can be bought direct from the source; at farmers markets and in farm shops. The interest in animal welfare, along with a wish to buy local, has prompted a rise in free range turkey orders.

Cardboard Turkey Boxes

Aylesbury Box Company has been working with a number of local farmers to provide suitable packaging for Christmas turkeys and other joints of meat. Our sturdy cardboard turkey boxes are straight forward to assemble and require no tape to hold them in place. What’s more they feature carry handles, which make it convenient to transport.

Plain cardboard turkey boxes can be printed with branding, storage and cooking instructions. This can save the farmer or butcher a lot of repetitive conversations! We could even print a recipe for left overs on the inside of the box, to help avoid food waste!

Turkey of the Future

At the moment we can pick between a fresh or frozen turkey, a cheaper barn reared option or free range, but another option for the future has been revealed. A Professor of Poultry (yes, there really is such a thing!) from North Carolina State University has suggested that lab grown turkey could be the Christmas centrepiece by 2030.

Apparently, the developments in ‘cultivated meat’ have already led to some impressive results, although at present they aren’t financially viable. It is expected that scientific developments will lead to a competitive product in the next 15 years.

It might not sound instantly appealing, but it could offer a way to feed a continuously expanding population in an environmentally beneficial manner. For now, we’re sticking with locally produced, free range turkey delivered in a cardboard box!
