Homestead Chicken Harvest Workshop

Written by Mary Godnick on 08/08/2021.

Join us for chicken harvest day on the farm. Our “broiler” chickens are an integral part of our grass-based pasture rotation. They live in mobile chicken coops, allowing them to forage along the pastures behind our dairy cows, adding impotant functions for soil and ecosystem health. In this workshop, you will learn how to harvest your own chickens at our farm. Get hands-on experience in all aspects of processing. Everyone gets a fresh chicken to take home at the end of the workshop as well. Class size is limited and may fill up fast. Please register at triplegreenjadefarm.com/farm-events/.
