Valerie and Immanuel guide participants through each step at Jireh Family Farm’s newly built processing facility, discuss the challenges and opportunities of processing on-farm, and share the resources available to help small-scale producers set up processing facilities on their farms. Each registrant leaves with the knowledge and skills to process independently, as well as a freshly processed turkey!
