Pasture-Raised Poultry Workshops in East Tennessee

Workshop / Event

Dates & Times: TBD

Our pasture-raised poultry workshops teach the full lifecycle of raising chickens on pasture—from brooding and daily management to pasture rotation, feeding, and harvest.

What You’ll Learn

This workshop takes you from foundation through finish—an honest, real-world dive into pasture poultry systems.

Pasture & Flock Design

  • Establishing pasture infrastructure for rotational grazing
  • Assessing ground impact and pasture health
  • Considering breed and system fit

Feeding & Nutrition

  • Integrating natural forage with custom organic, soy-free feed
  • Understanding nutritional needs through the seasons
  • Predator-aware placement and movement patterns

Daily Management

  • Flock behavior, health checks, and trouble-shooting
  • Shelter rotation for soil impact and cleanliness
  • Seasonal planning and growth pacing

Humane Harvest & Processing

  • Ethical dispatch and low-stress handling
  • Scalding, plucking, evisceration, and proper hygiene
  • Basic anatomy and quality indicators

Take-Home Experience

  • Tools and waterproof aprons provided
  • Bring a cooler—each participant takes home one pasture-raised chicken

This workshop is seasonal and offered in limited spots to ensure meaningful, hands-on learning.

Why This Workshop Matters

This is not a staged demo—it’s active learning on a working farm. You’ll practice skills in real systems where pasture rotation, forage integration, and animal welfare aren’t theoretical—they’re daily practice.

We focus on:

  • Regenerative agriculture and permaculture-based systems
  • Practical, applicable knowledge
  • Soil health, animal behavior, and ethical standards

Whether you’re starting your first flock or optimizing an existing one, this workshop equips you with clarity and experience.

Who This Is For

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Aspiring and established homesteaders
  • Small-scale regenerative farmers
  • Culinary professionals seeking deeper food knowledge
  • Families and individuals interested in healthy, transparent food systems

No prior experience is required—just curiosity and respect for the process.

What to Bring

  • Closed-toe shoes
  • Weather-appropriate clothing
  • Hat or sun protection
  • Cooler for take-home chicken

(We provide all training materials and waterproof aprons.)

A Note on Safety & Respect

We teach humane harvest with respect for the animal, transparency about best practices, and a strong emphasis on personal safety and cleanliness.
