In this Homestead Session, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the process of turning a pasture-raised chicken into clean, packaged meat ready for your freezer. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to build confidence, this is a safe place to learn, ask questions, and get your hands dirty alongside others on the same journey.

We keep things real, practical, and encouraging because this is a skill anyone can learn.

What You’ll Learn (Hands-On)

We’ll guide you through each stage of humane poultry processing:

• Dispatching
• Scalding
• Plucking

You won’t just watch, you’ll do it yourself with guidance every step of the way.
