On-Farm-Slaughter Workshop at Vermont Shepherd

  • 281 Patch Farm Road Putney, VT, 05346 United States (map)

This is an educational workshop on the slaughter and processing of three sheep guided by Mary Lake. Mary Lake is a professional itinerant slaughterer, butcher and sheep shearer who lives in Tunbridge.

Mary learned the craft of slaughter through several years of full-time work with the Royal Butcher in Randolph, which is a USDA inspected slaughter facility. Her expertise and engagement through testimony was essential for the new improvements to the On-Farm Slaughter law. At the workshop, Rural Vermont will present the requirements of the updated law and give room for questions and discussion.

Ticket Price: $40 per workshop or $70 for both workshops. RV, VGFA, VSGA members get $10 off registration fees. Enter MEMBERPERKS in the discount code during checkout.
