Learn how to break down a whole chicken from start to finish with the assistance of our professionally trained butchers. One of the best ways to ensure the quality of your meat products (and save money) is to buy whole animals. An easy place to start is with poultry. A chicken is an economical way practice before getting into larger, more expensive birds like turkeys or geese! The skills translate perfectly! In this class, you will learn multiple ways to break down a whole chicken with our expert butchers, get hands-on practice, and take home a whole chicken so that you can continue practicing on your own!

As a result, they have some of the best tasting chicken around! Every month, we offer a variety of butchering classes open to the public.
