Experience the full process of goat harvest in a small, woman-led group setting. This educational demonstration allows participants to see every step from humane dispatch to full carcass breakdown.
This workshop is designed for anyone curious about whole-animal stewardship, raising livestock, or simply wanting to understand where their food comes from. No prior experience is necessary.
Observing the harvest and breakdown of an animal can feel emotional or unfamiliar. This workshop is guided with patience and care, moving at a steady, clear pace. Questions and curiosity are encouraged the goal is confidence and understanding, not perfection.
