FRIENDS, GIVING BACK TO FIGHT FOOD WASTE.
For over a century, we’ve brought people together. This Friendsgiving, we’re joining Farmlink to fight food waste, rescuing surplus produce and delivering it to communities in need.
Our $101,000 donation will support The Farmlink Project’s mission to connect farms that have surplus crops with food banks around the U.S. Wild Turkey enlisted Andrew Rea, the personality behind popular cooking show “Binging with Babish” to help build awarness for this mission. In recognition of Farmlink’s efforts, Wild Turkey and Babish have collaborated to create innovative apple-infused cocktails. Crafted with Wild Turkey 101, dehydrated apple syrup, and aromatic bitters, the Wild Apple Pie cocktail is ideal for Friendsgiving gatherings and offers a flavorful tribute to autumn while highlighting Farmlink’s mission.
