Chicken Butchering & Farm Tour

Description

A potluck picnic, chicken butchering demo, and farm tour! (Rescheduled from 7/11 due to weather.) The plan is the same, but we'll meet Saturday evening instead. The animals should be much more active this time of day, vs the middle of the afternoon, when they are hunkering down away from the heat. This event will be picnic style, so please bring a blanket or chairs as you may need! With good weather the plan is to be on the lawn, and there is a great indoor venue (large, clean pole barn with good lighting and concrete floor) which we are welcome to congregate in weather permitting. What better way to build community than over a good meal? Bring a “WAPF-friendly,” dish (prepared using natural/traditional ingredients and methods, i.e. no grain-fed beef, artificial colors, GMOs or soy etc, but rather fermented foods, sourdough bread, organ meats and pastured chicken, foraged salad, etc.) If you’d rather just bring your own food though, that’s fine too. Families are welcome and encouraged! Let your children know where their food comes from. Be aware that this is a working farm, so bring appropriate footwear if you want to come along on the farm tour. We will have pastured eggs and frozen chickens available for purchase. I'm hoping to have fresh chicken available too, but that will depend on weather and rate of weight gain for the birds between now and then.
