Poultry Processing Workshop

  • Thursday, September 17, 2026, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

This program is one of four statewide roadshow stops, offering farmers a full poultry processing experience. The class will teach skills that build confidence, reduce costs, and strengthen your farm’s independence. This hands‑on workshop gives farmers the chance to process a bird from start to finish, learning every step of the workflow used by small farms across the state.

We will learn: 

  • Humane handling and proper dispatching
  • Scalding and plucking using correct temperatures and timing
  • Evisceration techniques and sanitation checkpoints
  • Chill tank management for food safety
  • Shrink-bag packaging and labeling
  • Safe transport and storage of your finished bird

Attendees will get a bird and knife to take home!
