Small Animal Processing Workshop

Complete processing of organically homestead raised rabbits & chickens. Skills learned can be applied to other similar animals, both wild and domestic. Workshop includes: husbandry, innards processing & cooking, fat rendering, broth making, sausage making, jerky, pemmican, and hide storage. All parts are prepared into nutrient dense foods as a late, lingering lunch/early dinner. Please bring wholesome snack to sustain you in the full day of learning, sharing and participation.

Many people who eat meat feel they are disconnected with the source, processes, and skill-set that enables the food enjoyed on their plate possible. Many of us are curious and want to experience some/all of the processes involved with raising a small animal: harvesting, dressing, and preparing of the animal. In this workshop we will process homestead raised 
chickens and rabbits.

The knowledge required to efficiently and humanely process an animal into food is an essential tool for self sufficiency while providing an opportunity to connect with an innate process of nutrient acquisition that cannot be obtained in our 
mainstream culture..

This Saturday class will cover small animal home-based raising, slaughtering, processing, preserving parts for food 
and other raw materials utilizing the 
entire animal in a respectful and 
thorough manner
