Fixin's, Sides, and Wine for Thanksgiving Holidays should be a time for you to relax and focus on your family and at Weaver Street Market we're dedicated to helping make that happen by providing all you need for your holiday table. Why stress about getting up early to bake all day when we can do it for you? You can special order an entire Thanksgiving dinner or just part of any. We offer pre-cooked turkeys or a turkey ready to pop in your own oven. Choose from Alison's Family Farm turkeys, local Farmer's Co-op turkeys, or a turkey breast. They're all-natural, and never frozen so they're as tender and great tasting as can be. Each of our side dishes feeds 6-8 people and you'll have to choose between Crunchy Sweet Potato Bake, Pioneer Stuffing, Swiss Green Bean Casserole, Squash & Corn Casserole, or Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes.

A limited quantity of smokehouse smoked turkeys are also available from Alison's Family Farms.

| Bayou Rescue Update |
Bayou Rescue was one of the groups that Weaver Street Market was able to give a donation to as a result of our Hurricane Katrina fundraising. With those monies Bayou Rescue was able to sponsor a trip from North Carolina to New Orleans and Mississippi. They spent the money on van rental, gas for the trip, rabies and bordetella vaccines, surgical supplies for spay/neuter, water and food for volunteers, washing of pet bedding, transport of animals to shelters, and other miscellaneous supplies.
"We just got back but wanted to say thank you x 1 bagillion googles. We were able to help so many places, and so many animals...with your very generous donation. I'm not exaggerating to say that this wouldn't have happened without you, and there were lots of animals that benefited directly. Some of those animals are now in the triangle! Wow-y'all are way to awesome! Thank you sounds trivial in comparison." Amber Alsobrooks, Bayou Rescue |
