It's been a while since I put anything on here. Well, I wanted to share about something I've put together and see if anyone out there might be interested in a hands-on workshop I'm doing. Further details below.
PASTURED BROILER PRODUCTION: A-Z
Come be a part of the first ever hands on broiler production workshop taught by Polyface's Apprentice Manager Eric Barth. Get the encouragement you need and hands on exposure to overcome the intimidation of raising broilers. Drawing from more then 5 1/2 years of teaching experience, Eric will walk you through the basics: chick brooding, Polyface style field shelter construction, proper ergonomics of shelter moving, processing, profit margins and much more!
