Jam Packed Workshop with Darby Simpson in June
On June 10th & 11th Darby Simpson will be hosting a jam-packed workshop on his farm.
Students will learn all about raising their own pastured poultry, pork and rabbit as well as how to butcher these animals on the homestead and the tools required to do so efficiently.
While aimed at the homesteader, all of the methods covered can be scaled to production level easily.
Instructors include Darby Simpson, Greg Burns (Nature’s Image Farm), Patrick Roehrman (MT Knives) and others.
In addition to the 16 hours of instructional time, students will receive a spiral bound book with a copy of each presentation given and full of color photos to take notes in and to reference at home later.
All six meals (made fresh with local and organic ingredients) are also included along with drinks and snacks in the workshop fee. And of course, the two day event will be capped off with a barter blanket session hosted by Rob Kaiser (Deliberate Living Systems).
No matter if you are a homesteader, wanting to homestead or considering a for-profit farming enterprise you will not want to miss this opportunity!

I just came off a course for Data Warehousing that must have cost about $1500 per person. I would much rather have done this. Even at the exchange rate, as I was reading this, I thought, hey I’d pay 1,500 for this.. Then I saw the price.
Brent, you are welcome to pay $1500 and bring three buddies with you! We tried to pack a lot of value into this for $375. I have another gentlemen from NS thinking about coming, would love to have you join us as well. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for the invite Darby, don’t think I can make it. Kudos to you for doing this. I hopped over to Youtube after and watched a bunch of Salatin videos.
Last year my neighbor and I raised two Berkshires (He has the infastructure) . The tough part was getting them loaded into the truck in the fall. Finally a local farmer came by with a five gallon bucket; placed it over the pigs head and walked it backwards up the ramp into the trailer. So simple, yet effective.
