Did you know? Farmers can only sell uninspected on farm slaughtered poultry as whole birds (chicken, turkey, ducks). This workshop demonstrates how to support your local farmers in learning how to cut your own birds when whole.

This is an educational workshop series on the slaughter and the processing of poultry guided by Elizabeth Roma. Elizabeth is a professional butcher and farmer who lives in South Royalton and co-owns Putting Down Roots Farm with her husband Russel- a diverse vegetable and animal farm. Early on in the pandemic 2020, she founded Roma's Butchery, a whole animal Butcher Shop that offers eggs, pork, beef, lamb, and chicken products as well as lunch.

Ticket Price: $70 for both workshops. Participants get to take home their farm-fresh slaughtered and cut chicken. RV, VGFA, VSGA, NOFA-VT members get $10 off registration fees - apply discount code MEMBER10 at checkout.
