Home Butchering and Meat Processing

A practical 2 day workshop to learn home butchering and processing skills for small animals.


As we commit to living more simply and sustainably it becomes more and more critical that more of us learn the skills of the home butcher and meat processor. In this two day workshop Taiamai and Bob will take you through the whole process, to show you how to kill small animals; chickens, ducks, geese, fish and sheep and pigs. You will all have an opportunity to share in the work and then you will learn how to cut up and use almost every part of the animal, from making lard to sausages,  brawn to bacon. You will also learn how to smoke fish and meat. Meals will be prepared using the meats you are processing, along with local organic produce.
 
Accommodation will be on site, please bring your own tent.
