Join Jacki Martinez Perkins, MOFGA’s Dairy & Livestock Specialist, for this workshop about processing chickens at home or on your small farm. In this hands-on workshop, participants will be guided through safely and humanely processing chickens. 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 sue 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.

This sliding scale registration is designed to make the workshop as accessible as possible, while covering MOFGA's costs. The recommended price for MOFGA members is $80; and the recommended price for non-members is $90.
