During this 2-part workshop at Argyll Farm in Bennington, participants will learn how to humanely slaughter a lamb in the first half of the workshop and process a lamb in the second half of the workshop.
This workshop will be guided by Mary Lake. Mary Lake is a professional itinerant slaughterer, butcher and sheep shearer who lives in Tunbridge. Mary learned the craft of slaughter through several years of full-time work with the Royal Butcher in Randolph, which is a USDA inspected slaughter facility. Her expertise and engagement through testimony was essential for the improvements to the On-Farm Slaughter law.
At the slaughter workshop, Caroline Gordon, Rural Vermont’s Legislative Director, will present the updates on on-farm slaughter regulation and give room for questions and discussion throughout the event.
