Poultry Processing Workshop

July 22 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm

$70 – $90

*Registration is free for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community members, as well as members of the MOFGA Journeyperson program.

Join Jacki Martinez Perkins, MOFGA’s Dairy & Livestock Specialist, to learn how to safely and humanely process chickens at the home or small farm scale. In this hands-on workshop, participants will be involved in each step of the process: from bringing live birds through butchery, to cleaning and cutting the chicken meat. This workshop will make use of small-scale processing equipment (plucker, cones, scalder, etc). Participants will also learn about poultry management, equipment options, and food safety best practices. 

This is a rain or shine event. Please bring an apron and a willingness to learn! Each participant will take home an organic bird that they processed. Chickens are sourced from Rainbow Farm in Orland.
