The animal behavior and welfare expert Temple Grandin will be there, I will be there, but will you?
Join a diverse group of professionals within the local and niche meat industry for two days of panel discussions, workshops, networking and demonstrations at the Carolina Meat Conference, to be held at the beautiful WinMock Barn & Events Center in Bermuda Run, NC. Topics include cured meats in retail and foodservice, efficiency in small plants, regulatory issues, controlling input costs in pastured meat production, challenges of value-added processing, innovative marketing, and more! Back by popular demand- intensive hands-on workshops for consumers, farmers and chefs. I will be there leading an honest discussion about the challenges of running a direct market meat farm, as well as doing a book signing.
When: December 3-4, 2012
Where: Bermuda Run, NC (near Winston-Salem)
Cost: Only $145 (includes meals), a steal for the quality of education you will receive
How to register: go to www.carolinameatconference.com
I look forward to seeing you there!
In the past five years, growing consumer demand for local sources for beef, poultry, pork and other meats has fueled a quadrupling of the number of North Carolina farmers with meat handler registration, and the NC Choices initiative has been responding to the growth in livestock farmers' interest in meat processing and regulatory issues with an annual Carolina Meat Institute.
