Course Tutor
Dan Green or Marc Frederic What you will learn The hands-on butchery day at the Empire Farm is very popular. On this full day course you learn butchering skills so you can deal with your own meat. At the start of the day, you are provided with half a pig, and you work you way through the meat, butchering it under the guidance of our expert tutor. If the butchery progresses well, we end the day with a short sausage-making session where you have a chance to make a few sausages. We will also cure some bacon if you wish. There are just 4 butchery places available on this course, so you get excellent supervision. This course offers exceptional value as you get to pack up and take home all the meat you have butchered . Observers - we can accommodate two additional people on this course, either as observers or as a 'second person' working on the same piece of meat as one of the people paying the full price. The charge for this is £100. Administration Most of the course takes place in the butchery which is not heated so warm clothing and thick socks are needed! We provide protective clothing. Please bring cool boxes in which to take home your meat. The price includes all tuition, course notes, light lunch and refreshments during the day, together with the meat and bones from half a pig (average weight 25 - 30 kg). Accommodation is not included. Due to the small numbers of places available on our hands-on days, we have a waiting list. If you are interested please let us know and we will add your name to our list which is sent out to people who have registered an interested, before making the course available to people via the website.
