Course: Sheep Harvest and Butchery

Learn to ethically harvest, then butcher a sheep and take half a lamb home with you!

We would like to invite you to join us in one of the oldest human rituals, the sheep harvest. 

During this two-day weekend course, you will learn how to humanly dispatch, skin, gut, and butcher a lamb. You will be working closely with professional butcher and farmers, Brett Jensen and Carissa Miller.
