Mobile poultry processing allows small farmers to raise and then slaughter meat chickens, turkeys, ducks, and other fowl with the convenience of a safe, licensed operator. Such systems make it possible for farmers to offer meat birds as a value-added part of a diversified business. This workshop will discuss new regulations and other important details that may obstruct small pasture-raised poultry operations. The speakers will explain how one community overcame regulatory barriers and was able to provide small, size-appropriate, clean, transparent, and humane processing, using an innovative bridge arrangement that dramatically increased local poultry production.
