Please join us at Union Brook Farm in Northfield for a chicken processing workshop on Sunday, September 29 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm!

Emily Virzi and Rose Thackeray will teach participants the basics of raising, slaughtering, and processing meat chickens. Participants get to take home one whole delicious meat bird! If there is time and interest, Em & Rose will lead us through instructions for the cutting/parting of whole birds, show us their new poultry packaging equipment, and hear about the new legislation.

Limited capacity, register now! Registration fee is $70.

Ticket Price: $70. This includes 3 hours of instruction and 1 whole meat bird that participants will be able to take home.

Special Note: Union Brook’s processing area is covered but outside so folks will need to dress accordingly for the weather.  There are a few aprons (4) available but if you have rain gear, please bring along…chicken processing is a water-heavy, wet activity!

A Note About Workshop Pricing & Registration:

Rural Vermont works alongside farm hosts, instructors, and other non-profits to bring a variety of workshops and peer-to-peer learning opportunities to our members and communities throughout Vermont.  Our ticket prices are built on the needs of the community, the needs of the farm hosts and instructors, and the structure of the workshop itself. We work hard to provide accessible, quality programming and to also pay fair compensation to our farm hosts, our instructors, and to cover the cost of managing and producing our workshops. As such, our ticket pricing varies from workshop to workshop and we strive to keep our pricing within a fair range. Thank you for participating and learning alongside us! 

This workshop is generously sponsored by Hanover Co-op Food Stores.
