<P>The hands-on butchery day at the Empire Farm is a very popular course and early booking is strongly advised. On this full day course you learn butchering skills so you can deal with your own meat.</P>
<P>At the start of the day, you are provided with half a pig, and you work you way through the meat, butchering it under the guidance of our expert tutor. We end the day with a short sausage-making session, making use of all of the offcuts of meat produced during the butchery. If time permits, we will also cure some bacon.</P>
<P>There are just 4 butchery places available on this course, so you get excellent supervision from our experienced butcher.</P>
<P>The course offers exceptional value as you get to pack up and take home all the meat you have butchered and your batch of sausages, easily worth £150 if you had to buy it all in a supermarket.</P>
<P>Observers – we can accommodate a couple of additional people on this course, either as observers or as a ‘second person’ working on the same piece of meat as one of the people paying the full price. There is a small fee of £50 to cover this.</P>
<P>As few people have asked if they can bring their own pork to butcher which is possible, but please check with the office first and obviously there is a different pricing structure.</P>
