Dear Livestock Farmers,
Join Berkshire Agricultural Ventures for our:
Meat Literacy Workshop Series
BEEF: March 6th, 10am-1pm
PORK: March 13th, 10am-1pm
SMALL RUMINANTS: March 20th, 10am-1pm
All sessions are free and will be held at at the Berkshire South Community Center
Each workshop will have five areas of focus:
-
Intro to butchery terminology and the cut familiarity
-
Understanding basic meat cooking terminology and which cooking methods are best suited for which cuts
-
Understanding of yields and carcass assessment
-
Intro to meat processing regulation
-
Discussion of cut sheets strategy and how to improve your relationship with your processors.
Participants will walk away from the workshops with meat cutting diagrams, a written basic intro to butcher and meat cooking terms, and a primer on meat processing regulations.
I will be leading this workshop series. More about me: I work at BAV on improving our regional livestock systems. I have worked in a variety of capacities as a butcher and have traveled around the country teaching workshops on meat processing as The Roving Butcher.
To register for any or all of the workshops please email me directly and include your name, the name of the farm or organization you are affiliated with, and its location. Preference will be given to farmers in our service area, if space fills up.
Any questions please email me.
Best,
Jake
