FROM FIELD TO FREEZER
Texas Chicken Processing
Whether you are concerned about food shortages and want to be more in control, or the drive to process your chickens is too far away, or you want to save money on processing fees for the future, this is the place for you! Processing your own chickens is a valuable skill to have, and we want to share that knowledge with you!
We’ll start at the beginning and show you our tips and tricks for raising pastured poultry, then teach you the step-by-step process from the field to the freezer. Each registration includes a day of education, a yummy meal and 1 of the chickens you helped to process to take home.
With so many first generation farmers starting up small family homesteads in Wise, Ellis, Tarrant and Collin County, it’s the perfect time to learn a new skill to benefit your family.
We only hold Chicken Processing Classes once a year and it’s always the Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving. So mark your calendars for our next class on November 29th and 30th, 2024. We can’t wait to meet you!
