Sacred Farm Animal - Harvest Workshop

Join us for a heartfelt two-day, hands-on experience in Mindful Food Resilliancy. This workshop invites animal lovers, homesteaders, bodyworkers and anyone curious about anatomy or sustainable living to reconnect with the sacred cycle of life through intentional animal harvesting and shared meals.

Together, we’ll explore the humane art of processing poultry (Saturday) and goats (Sunday) with reverence, gratitude, and respect. Learn essential farm-to-table skills—harvesting, butchering, preservation, and anatomy—while deepening your understanding of conscious food systems and animal stewardship.

On Sunday during the Sacred Goat Slaughter, Kyle, an acupuncturist and martial artist with deep insight into anatomy and somatic integration, will lead us on a fascinating exploration of the goat's anatomy and physiology, sharing how with the exception of a few extra digestive organs, a goats anatomy closely resembles our own.

Each day includes a farm fresh meal and participants will all take home a select cuts of the processed animal.

Come experience the beauty, humility, and nourishment that arise when we honor the life of animals that sustain us.

Info: On Saturday, Participants will gain hands on experience harvesting several of our roosters and a Turkey , and they are also welcome to bring their own live chickens for processing. Afterward, we’ll share a delicious evening meal featuring roasted chicken (harvested previously), accompanied by fresh salad and seasonal vegetables from the farm.

Info: Sunday we will prayerfully harvest two goats and Kyle will guide us on a fascinating exploration of the goat’s anatomy and physiology, revealing how, aside from a few digestive differences, the goat’s anatomy closely mirrors our own.
Participants will gain hands on experience learning the most humane transition techniques, how to skillfully and safely skin the animal, how to remove, identify and prepare edible organs, how to quarter, butcher and preserve meat quality, identifying traditional cuts.
Midday we will break for a communal smoked goat lunch(harvested previously) to celebrate the nourishment and vitality of meat raised and harvested with intention. During the meal, we will discuss the role of animal stewardship as an essential and complementary aspect of Bio-Resonant Farming.
