Hands-on Poultry Processing Workshop
The ability to own your food source is empowering, and more importantly, it frees you from having to rely on others to feed you. However, whether you raise broiler birds, ducks, turkeys, geese, or guineas, it is necessary to dispatch and process the bird quickly and humanely.
As a family, we consume chicken once, if not twice a week, making it a staple protein. For this reason, we need to know how the bird was raised and what it consumed during the grow-out process. There is no marketing ploy with animals that you have grown yourself.
Whether your poultry is raised in a poultry tractor on pasture, free-ranging, or kept in a run, you are the stewards to this smaller livestock. Your stewardship allows the birds raised for meat a life they would not have received in a factory farm while producing a better-tasting chicken.
