Workshops & Keynotes

Raising the birds might be the easy part—figuring out how to get them ready for sale and actually selling them can feel a little more complicated.

Join Dale and Kayla Batty from The Old Home Place for a practical look at what happens after processing.

They’ll demonstrate how to break down a whole bird into individual cuts and talk through packaging, labeling requirements, pricing, how to find a processing crew, what to pay them, and the other little details that can make raising & selling poultry feel overwhelming.

Learn from their more than 15 years of raising, processing, and selling their own poultry—including all the legalities they struggled through when starting out.

Come with questions! Their goal is to take some of the mystery out of the process and help you feel a lot more prepared to sell your own birds.

This course will cover why we prune trees and modern pruning systems. We will define the parts of a tree and what cuts we can make on them. We will also look at pruning as a process and how it can be repeated for best results.
