The next time you pick up a container of OLD BAY at the grocery store, you'll notice something different about the packaging. McCormick & Company, the manufacturer of the popular seafood spice has announced it will return to using tin instead of plastic. The company began transitioning to plastic in the late 1980s, so if you still have one in your cabinet, it's probably a good idea to throw it out.

To celebrate the return to tin, OLD BAY will be giving away a special commemorative prize package inspired by the Baltimore Ravens. From Dec. 1 through Dec. 14, 2025, just visit McCormick.com and enter to win.  The new tins will be available in stores in December and the design, ingredients and taste will be the same OLD BAY that we know and love. 

"OLD BAY is more than a seasoning. It's a symbol of heritage, flavor, and Baltimore pride," Giovanna DiLegge, Vice President Marketing, U.S. Consumer at McCormick & Company. "The return to tin is our way of honoring generations of fans who've made OLD BAY a staple for decades. From crab feasts with family and friends to much more, OLD BAY has long been the flavor that brings people together."



Originally made to season Maryland Blue Crabs, OLD BAY has become a popular seasoning for seafood, chicken, salads, potato chips - even sweets like caramel popcorn. The brand has branched out to hot sauce, cocktail sauce and vodka. Have an OLD BAY fan at home?

Fulton Turkey Farm Prepping for Thanksgiving

Sho Nuf Turkey Farm is taking orders for Thanksgiving. If you’re a long-time resident of Howard County, you probably know all about Sho Nuf Turkey Farm in Fulton. You may have even stopped by during Thanksgiving week to pick up a fresh, locally raised turkey for your holiday table. Much of the farm’s original land is now part of Maple Lawn, the master-planned community filled with townhomes, condos, and single-family homes. The remaining farmland is also slated for future development—but for now, Marylanders can still enjoy the tradition of bringing home a Sho Nuf turkey for their holiday meals. Each season, the farm produces about 20,000 turkeys. In late summer, you can usually see the birds roaming freely in the fields.

A portion of the flock will be sold wholesale to local markets, while the rest will be available for purchase directly from the farm. Sho Nuf turkeys are free-range raised a...
