Grateful Growers Farm is putting together a three-day course that combines farming and hog butchering for "culinary scholars." For $695, including meals and 30 pounds of pork, you get an experience that includes a day learning about farm practices and the raising of Tamworth hogs, a day focused on humane meat-processing, and a day on breaking down and cutting up pork.
The class is limited to six participants, and will be held mainly at Grateful Growers Farm in Denver on June 23-25. Registration is obviously required, and I'd inquire very quickly because it will probably fill up fast.

ReplyDeleteWas definitely an experience you never forget.
It does make one appreciate and respect the process about where your food comes from.
