What our farm visitors say
Excellent butchery courses
I have just completed a comprehensive weekend covering the humane dispatch, processing and butchering of chickens, lamb and and pigs. Each course covers everything you need to know to be able to confidently process your own meat for home consumption. The courses focus on how to do each step safely, quickly and compassionately for both the animals involved and humans, and you get to take home a share of the meat that you have butchered to enjoy.
Rod and Matt who run the courses are very knowledgeable and approachable, and have the welfare of the animal top of mind to ensure that there is no suffering and that the meat produced is of top quality. To top it off, Bec provides scrumptious meals and snacks throughout the day. If this is something you want to be able to do, I’d highly recommend these courses.
Pretty good
I did the chicken, lamb and pork courses. got a lot of good info/advice and everyone was very friendly, welcoming and non-judgmental when it came to asking the ‘silly’ questions. Great yarns! And great homemade food for lunch!
Was overall a great experience!
Highly recommend. 🙂
Thanks for having me!
