Chicken Processing: Field to Freezer

About This Workshop

Family Poultry Butchery Class — Right Here on the Farm

This hands-on class is built for kids and adults learning together — a real, age-appropriate introduction to poultry processing in a setting that's safe, respectful, and genuinely educational. You'll work through basic anatomy, humane handling, and how to break a chicken down into its parts, guided step-by-step by our experienced butchers in a proper working facility.

More than a skills class, it's a chance to slow down and understand where food actually comes from — hands-on, honest, and grounded in respect for the animal. Great for curious kids ready to learn something practical, and for any adult who's never quite known how to do this themselves. Every participant goes home with a ready-to-cook chicken they processed themselves.

Details: Kids must be 8 or older to participate All tools and safety gear provided Limited to 10 kids and 10 adults per session

Please note: This class involves sharp knives and butchery tools. A parent or guardian must remain present and actively supervising their child for the entire class. Our instructors enforce strict safety protocols throughout, but close parental attention is essential to keeping kids safe during this hands-on experience.
