If you ever wondered how to raise chickens in a humane and natural way, Mark will tell you how you can find out. The Pastured Poultry Courses will cover everything you need to know on how to raise chickens and process chickens for eggs and meat. This will be a fun and educational experience. Bring a friend or spouse and stay in the bunkhouse or camp right on the farm. This is going to be a wonderful time, so book now. We look forward to seeing you here at Bakers Green Acres this summer, and remember, Anyone Can Farm.
