This comprehensive, 4-hour workshop will focus on how to butcher, process, and cook a lamb. In the first part of the workshop, local butcher and owner of Unified Fields, Ben Buchanan will demonstrate how to break down an entire lamb. Ben will discuss tools needed, proper safety techniques, and how to identify different cuts. Participants will join Ben in further breaking down the lamb and cleaning different cuts of meat, learning about whole animal butchering along the way. Ben will demonstrate cooking lamb as well, and participants will be able to share a meal before heading home with 3-5lbs of fresh, locally raised lamb.
