Next up on my list of things that aren’t around anymore is the Green Ridge Turkey Farm Restaurant. The Green Ridge was on the corner of the Daniel Webster Highway and Spit Brook Road in Nashua, NH. Have you seen the McDonald’s commercial about the coffee where the two guys are asking each other New England related questions? Left on Spit Brook and right on Daniel Webster would bring you right past the Green Ridge Turkey Farm. (Although it was on the left corner, where the Barnes and Noble is now.) I’m not sure there ever was a turkey farm there. I never saw one. But through the sixties and seventies, our family ate at that restaurant for special occasions. It doesn’t look like much, but it was a cool place. Old-fashioned décor, dark paneling, booth seating, and as I recall, a pheasant under glass in the entryway. Literally, a stuffed pheasant under what looked like an upside-down fish tank. The food was good, not just turkey and all the fixings, but that was the thing to have. Anybody else remember the Green Ridge? Was there ever a turkey farm there? related links:
