Fresh Pasture Farms is a family-owned farm offering local access to pasture raised poultry, eggs, pork and 100% grass fed and finished beef. During our homesteading field trip, we'll tour the farm store and the farm chicken processing area to learn how to successfully process your own chicken. The Sutter family will also share more about:

• Brooder and chick care management (from chick to pasture)
• Portable field shelters for layers, broilers, ducks, and turkeys
• An overview of pasture pork
• Woodland management with goats
• Pasture management with 100% grass fed and finished cattle

Transportation is not provided, and participants must make their own arrangements to travel to the farm.
