TEWKSBURY, Mass. – Walden Local Meat Co., a Massachusetts based meat company with the mission to nourish its member communities across New England and New York with meat raised sustainably and humanely in their region, has unveiled its 2023 Thanksgiving lineup. This offering is another opportunity for members to support Northeast businesses and help grow local economies by choosing these products for their Thanksgiving table. This year, Walden Local Meat and its members have also donated over 2,500 pounds of meat to the non-profits Pine Street Inn and Abenaki Helping Abenaki.
