Greaneyâs Turkey Farm has been the go-to spot for fresh, local poultry in central Maine for years. Run by
Scott and Tracy Greaney, their three children, Emily, Ben and Adam, and extended family, the farm
raises and slaughters hundreds of turkeys (and chickens) each year for meat markets around Maine. The
farm is a hobby, and a passion, for the family and has been a mainstay through good times and bad. In
2014, when Scott Greaney was diagnosed with non-Hodgkinâs lymphoma, the kids â who then ranged in
age from 11 to 17 â stepped up to run the farm and ensure the Thanksgiving slaughter went off without
a hitch. Years have gone by, the kids are grown and have moved out of the house, and a new workforce
is now running the farm. Several families of Amish workers who relocated to Maine from Ohio are now
an integral part of the farm operations, doing everything from gutting and slaughtering to packing the
turkeys.
