Come learn from Jason and the crew at Grimm Family Farm as they demonstrate their new on-farm poultry processing setup. As third-generation farmers, Jason and his wife Hannah raise pasture-based meat birds and, alongside Jason’s family, grow corn, hay, oats, beef, produce and dry beans.
This field day will be a hands-on, live demonstration of processing chickens. Jason will also discuss processing equipment and share how to navigate licensing for on-farm processing.
