That was Allan Burger, product ambassador for Buttonwood Farm.

"It's a lot of initial prep work to get things ready to go and prepared. And then this week and then next week are probably the busiest weeks of the year for Buttonwood.

Buttonwood Farm was started by Matt and Eleanor Tiefenbrun in 2010 in California, Mo. It began with chickens, and almost a decade later, the operation raises eggs year-round and turkeys for the Thanksgiving season.
