I'm trying to gauge the level of interest in hosting a poultry processing workshop here at the farm; I've had success with 'Chicken Raising 101' workshops here. So if you have any desire to learn how to process your own poultry on a small scale (50 birds at a time or less), please take this short survey. If there're enough folks who want to learn, I'll start hosting chicken harvesting workshops in December 2012 or Spring 2013. Whether I hold classes for other types of poultry will depending on the survey results (and, of course, prices will vary with the type of birds we process).
Take the survey here:
www.surveymonkey.com/s/XC5DFC2/
The basic idea is this:
I figure a class size of between 4-7 people at $25 per person is reasonable. A small group allows everyone to see what's going on and I can do hands-on for that number by myself.
1. I give an overview of what we plan to accomplish and use a couple of diagrams to show students how we plan to do it.
2. I process one bird from beginning to end so students can see how the entire operation moves from one step to another fluidly.
3. Then the students get their birds and I walk everyone through the steps again while they do the processing themselves.
4. Once all the birds are harvested and packaged we have lunch which includes the bird I processed in the beginning of the class (I'll have a trusty assistant cooking that up while we're doing the hands-on part).
5. Then the students collect the bird they processed and take it home.
If that sounds interesting, take the survey and let me know!
