Small-Scale Poultry Processing (Summary)

This publication covers small-scale processing, both on-farm and in small plants. A growing number of small producers are raising poultry outdoors on pasture, processing the birds on-farm or in regional processing facilities, and selling the meat directly to customers at the farm or at a farmers' market. Access to processing is a critical issue for small producers. This publication covers each step of processing poultry, and offers examples of mobile processing units.
