For
those interested in a one day learning experience,
we invite you to join us for our bi-weekly poultry
processing day. We start at 9am and finish at 1pm.
Because we use scalding hot water and sharp
knives, children 12 and up with their parents are
best suited. Please let us know if you are coming.
Processing days are announced on
facebook only.
Our
desire is to educate those who truly want to learn
our farming practices and perhaps apply them to
their own business someday. You will be expected
to do
hard work. We cannot devote
time to teaching you if you cannot return the time
in labor. If you would rather not work, consider
going to one of our
group
tours instead.
