Chicken Processing Volunteer Day
July 2, 2023 @ 8:30 am - 2:30 pm
We are inviting volunteers to help process chickens here at Wild East Farm on July 2nd at 8:30am. It typically takes approximately 5-6 hours to complete the batch (150 birds), but the exact timing will depend on the number of volunteers and everyone’s pace.
The process begins with live chickens and ends with cleaned whole birds in the refrigerator.
We take every effort to process our animals efficiently, safely, and with respect for the animal. We move at a brisk pace to ensure minimal stress on the animals. Volunteers need to be prepared to abide by those principles and participate in any part of the process while working with the team. Our goal is that you become comfortable and confident in the process, build skills, and learn a lot while you are here!
We provide refreshments (snacks and drinks) and volunteers can head home with a whole chicken, ready to cook. Our chickens are rotated daily on pasture and fed 100% organic feed.
Volunteers will be asked to sign a liability waiver upon arrival.
Registration required.
