Poultry Processing Workshop at Peggy Rockefeller Farm

Take home a fresh, organic, whole chicken after learning how to humanely harvest and prepare chickens for cold storage or cooking.

For a sliding scale registration fee of $70-$90, participants will work with farm staff in our licensed, on-farm facility to process chickens from live birds to bagged whole carcasses.

The workshop will cover the safety and cleaning protocols of the Maine 1000-bird exemption processing license, explore humane slaughtering and handling techniques, and work through scalding, plucking, evisceration, and bagging.

Participants should arrive wearing closed-toe waterproof shoes (ideally boots), long pants, clothes they don't mind getting messy and layers appropriate to the weather. Please bring water and a bagged lunch. Light refreshments provided.
