On-Farm Pig to Plate Butchery Workshop
September 23rd – 25th, 2022
In a world where many have lost the connection to the food they eat, we believe in food with meaning and respect. Our pigs spend their days filled with sunshine, fresh air, and noses in the dirt. We are partnering with a farm with similar values.
Andy and Doug from Hand Hewn Farm will be leading this three-day, hands-on intensive butchery workshop with one of our forest-raised hogs. Hand Hewn Farm has many years of experience slaughtering, butchering, and curing their own pork for their families as well as guiding other farmers, homesteaders, chefs, and home cooks through the process at their own farms. It is a valuable skill that has been lost in rural communities.
During this hands-on workshop we will focus on walking through the entire process of how to efficiently, beautifully, and practically take a hog from pasture to plate ethically and humanely.
If you’d like to be a part of an unforgettable experience, have your belly filled with excellent food and drink, and feel a deep sense of belonging in a community while gaining practical skills, bring an adventurous palette and join us for this Whole Hog Intensive Workshop!
