Do you want to get started with pastured poultry? Use these new videos to get the info you need to start right and stay right.
The Pastured Poultry webinar series from NC Choices covers five areas important to beginning (and continuing) farmers: management, nutrition, infrastructure, processing and health.
Each area includes a video presentation along with the option to download the presentation slides. Transcripts will be added. View the videos below or visit Niche Meat Teaching Resources to get slides and more.
The videos are one part of a cluster of resources designed by NC Choices, an initiative of the Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) in collaboration with N.C. Cooperative Extension that promotes local, niche and pasture-based meats in North Carolina.
The Niche Meat Teaching Resources are meant to help trainers working with beginning farmers across the state. They cover many topics, including business and marketing, and production training for pasture-based poultry, small ruminants and swine, with cattle resources coming soon.
If you need more help, contact an Area Specialized Agent for poultry or your county livestock agent.
