This is a series of educational workshops on the slaughter and processing of two lambs guided by Mary Lake. Mary Lake is a professional itinerant slaughterer, butcher and sheep shearer who lives in Tunbridge. Join the full day and experience the whole process from slaughter to butchering during these two sequential workshops.
*Please note: The workshop is hosted in two separate locations. Join for just one workshop or both morning and afternoon workshops.

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.
