    Micro-farmer and master food preserver Jollen Gibbs recently led a hands-on poultry processing and butchering workshop with birds raised on her La Habra Heights ranch, Barley's Farm. She taught how to humanely kill, de-feather, and process a chicken cleanly and efficiently. Freelance reporter Shara Morris attended the workshop and shadowed attendees Kieran and Kamila Smith. The event was coordinated by Slow Food LA. Their mission is to reconnect Americans with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils and waters that produce our food.

    We have photos of the workshop on the Good Food blog.
