1. Save time: The average American spends 15 hours preparing a Thanksgiving meal for eight people. Use this newly gained time to spend time with friends and family over the holiday season. 

2. No more dry turkey: Thanks to Chef Kieron’s sous vides method of preparation, you don’t have to stress about overcooking your turkey. This method locks in moisture to provide a consistently delicious result. 3. Farm-to-table without the work: Ditch the processed foods and enjoy high quality, farm fresh, seasonal ingredients grown locally in Cornman Farms’ Chef’s garden or trusted nearby farms. 4. A la carte options: Enjoy the flexibility of picking and choosing between ordering a full meal, only your favorite sides, or just the turkey. 

5. Beef tenderloin is on the menu: This alternative is perfect for anyone who wants an elaborate change or addition to their Thanksgiving meal. 

6. Easy-to-follow reheat instructions: Each meal comes with step-by-step reheat instructions to ensure that all the delicious food stays warm and is able to be served at the perfect time. Chef Kieron even calculates some time to enjoy a glass of wine! 

7. Thanksgiving hotline: Customers are able to contact Cornman Farms for any day-of confusion and emergencies.
