Chicken and Hog DVD's are now finished!!My husband is a former county extension educator who has taught food production skills on our farm. Due to popular demand, we are beginning to format these workshops and educational experiences onto DVD. And (drum roll), we have finally finished our first DVD's!With the first one, John teaches how to butcher a chicken from start to finish. It's so easy our children join in to learn how to eviscerate. Our oldest summarized it as "a very pleasant experience." With the second DVD, we include four generations of family members, including John's 94 year old grandmother and his parents as they pass on the tradition of hog butchering. This was such a special experience for all involved. We are all still taking about it. Hog processing from start to finish is demonstrated as well as how to cut up the meat which really is a mini meat science course. With both DVD's John touches on the Biblical reason as to why we eat meat. This has been so appreciated by our workshop participants and stands in stark contrast to the beliefs saturating our culture which stem from movies like Bambi and Charlotte's Web (which villify man for taking animals for sustenance). In both DVD's, the anatomy of the animal is covered which is biology in its most natural state! Most of the citizens in our country were quite familiar with the butchering of chickens and hogs. This was viewed as a very normal event and looked forward to eagerly and gratefully as they put food on their table. These DVD's are our effort to teach, inform and normalize that which used to be normal.
