KLIEN Reprinted with permission from "The New England Homestead" A visitor leisurely circled Cape Cod in his plane. It was a remin- iscent mood that brought him back to this quaint part of Massachu- setts with its cranberry bogs, sand dunes, windmills and its artists. What have been the changes on the Cape since I vacationed here as a boy, he quandered ? As he landed his plane at Pleasant Lake he frightened a large flock of turkeys. The sign said it was the Robin Hood Model Turkey Farm. His interest in turkeys prompted a visit to this farm teeming with turkey activity and the amazement that was his is the surprise that comes to hun- dreds of others who visit Cape Cod. Here, hidden away among the cranberry acres and quietly se- cluded from industrial activity is one of the largest turkey farms of Massachusetts. It is owned and operated by Thomas G. Jamieson, a one-time engineer. His mechan- ical ability has not been dissipated for Robin Hood Farm is probably the most highly mechanized turkey farm of Massachusetts. Six The capacity of the farm is well over 5,000 birds. The business is largely a wholesale or jobbing one. Birds are identified with tags and the Robin Hood mark which car- ries through to the consumer. The principal outlet is through care- fully selected stores that cater to a select clientele. There is some direct selling by mail and Mr. Jamieson tells the interesting story of delivering turkeys to a movie actor in Hollywood where the express alone was $ a bird. These birds were expressed to Hollywood alive and dressed by an agent at their destination. Other sales have carried them to the four corners of the United States. The Robin Hood turkeys are called "Cape Cod Cranberry Turk- eys" with all rights reserved. On a billboard near the entrance t
