Broiler Processing Workshop at Green Heron Growers

Julie and Steve grow broilers organically and process them on-farm under the 1,000 bird exemption. Join us for a tour of their small batch pasture-raised broiler enterprise, including production and processing. Their team will take participants through a live processing demonstration, walking them through the steps of how to humanely and safely process chickens on a small scale.
