Shawn and Beth will be joining participants for lunch on Saturday.
The second Saturday will be processing day, where participants will learn how to break the quarters into recognizable and usable cuts. This will be done at Brian’s farm, where he and Luke have held their past butcher workshops, utilizing hand tools for processing. The second Saturday will include lunch and dinner.

Soaring food prices, radio ID tracking of animals, raids on food co-ops, vaccines in various vegetables… Rogue Food was founded by HOA speakers Joel Salatin and John Moody to educate, equip, and encourage folks to say enough is enough, and do something to help restore food freedom and fairness to the food system.
Join them this November to learn about effective activism, buying clubs and coops, food churches, emotional support chickens, educational butchering options outside the meat inspection system, and so much more.
Learn from folks who have successfully fought the government and walked away winners.
Enjoy real food meals along with an array of attendee gifts from RFC sponsors and vendors, along with opportunities to expand your knowledge and your network to make food freedom a reality right where you are!
