A farmer in Temple Terrace stands back to camera watching his flock of turkeys raised for Thanksgiving tables

Travis Malloy wasn’t always a farmer; he used to be an electrical engineer. But when he realized his work was doing more harm than good to the environment, he pivoted to farming.

He is the owner of TrailBale Farm, in Temple Terrace. Malloy prioritizes providing locally grown organic food to the Bay area.

While he provides other animals year-round, November is a special time of year. It is the only time he sells turkeys for Thanksgiving.
